This 4/20 In Dallas, You Can Puff And Brush, Be Dazed And Confused At Alamo Drafthouse, Get Reefer Madness at Thunderbird Station & More.
Alright, alright, alright, 4/20 is coming up and we found 15 events around town that you can celebrate with. You can always get some snacks, put on a movie and enjoy yourself at home, but why not explore the great options your local venues are offering and make some friends? A bud buddy, if you will.
One of these is sure to fit your vibe.
420 Kickbacks with Puff And Brush
This BYOB get-together has meet-ups multiple times through out the month. The concept is simple, smoke while painting your own masterpiece. On 4/20 Puff and Brush is offering three sessions, morning, noon and night. Don’t worry, there’ll be snacks and drinks. DM their Instagram page for tickets.
Reefer Madness at Thunderbird Station
It’s all drug-crazed abandon at our favorite diner/bar. There’ll be hemp-based goodies from Zar CBD and Cookies by Chrysta, a special stoner food (like Flaming Hot Cheetos Frito pie) and drink menu and DJ Barfwave from 7p.m-12 p.m.
It’s 4/20 Somewhere at The Rustic
The restaurant/venue will be offering a CBD and Delta 8 pop-up, themed drink specials and of course, food. A couple of DJs will be playing and the blues-funk band Mississippi Bastard Project will be on at 7 p.m.
Dazed And Confused at Alamo Drafthouse
At the Lake Highlands and Denton locations on April 20, you can catch this iconic 1994 teen movie. In fact, this was the movie that put Alamo Drafthouse on the map when it’s original Austin location screened it. For a more fan-centered experience, the Richardson and Los Colinas locations are doing a virtual Q&A with stars Matthew McConaughey and Parker Posey, director Richard Linklater and moderator Jack Black on April 18. Not quite 4/20, but nothing wrong with celebrating it twice.
Ladies Night at Electric Shuffle
The woman-owned dispensary is bringing a festive 4/20 celebration to Electric Shuffle. There will be specialty CBD infused cocktails, free shuffleboard, a DJ and fun party favors that include a mini cocktail kit. — Rhema Joy Bell
Flower Power at Tulips
Headlining is The Willie Specials, a Willie Nelson tribute act, because if we had to think of a lineup of Patron Saints of weed, Nelson would be one of them. Also featured is DJ OMG. Entry is free with RSVP.
4/20 Glass Night at Flying Saucer
Flying Saucer is unveiling the 2022 commemorative glass at this 4/20 celebration. The crew will be featuring Fair State Big Doinks IPA and some brewery merch to raffle off.
