It’s like Coachella for Philly stoners. Light up your holiday at this outdoor festival full of munchies, musicians and live art. This party has no end time, simply because it’s always 4:20 somewhere. | 4:20 pm. $10. One Art Community Center, 1431 N. 52nd St. oneartcommunitycenter.com
420 Rasta Party
You had us at “twerk contest.” Come with your munchies in full effect because free Jamaican food will be served for most of the night. Get your twerk and your jerk on where it’s all about that green.

“No pretenses. No inhibitions. JUST HOUSE.” You surely won’t have to hold anything back at this house music party hosted by Phreak N’ Queer Arts & Music Festival.

The Sankofa House, 906 S. 49th St. facebook.com
Day Dreamers Earth Day Celebration
Celebrate new beginnings with plenty of live reggae performances and an “intentional seed planting.” Honestly, we’re not sure what that means, but it sounds like you’ll intentionally be planting some herbs that’ll later reap rewards. This sounds like an event that’s for spiritual people tuned into a higher frequency—or stoners just looking to get high. | 4:20 pm. Free. 3500 Lancaster Ave. eventbrite.com
The 4/20 Boogie Down: An Afrodisiac Holiday
We don’t really have much info on this, but what we do know is that there will be live music (presumably some funky stuff), vendors and food. What more could you ask for than to get down while you get high? Come celebrate an awesome culture while surrounding yourself in groovy tunes and positive vibes.| 10 pm. $5. Artwear Auction, 2301 N. 9th St. eventbrite.com
4/20 Party
Self-explanatory. Oh, I’m sorry, were you expecting more info? Well, there will be performances from the bands “Heavy Coughin’” and “Dutchguts,” among several others. So, yeah, we’d say that this seems like a proper 4/20 bash. | 8 pm. $5. Century, 1350 S. 29th St. facebook.com
Anime Dessert Club: The Hidden River Show
Calling all weebs that are into weed! Shred some gnar at the skatepark and spark some new interest in up-and-coming bands that will be rocking the stage. This is your chance to talk about manga and marijuana in one sweet location. | 8 pm. Free. Grays Ferry Crescent Trail Park, 1300 Schuylkill Ave. eventbrite.com
Reggae Night
There’s no theme more typical for a 4/20 show. Just a good night for some, ya know… reggae music. Ear Me Now, Big Minds and Jah People are set to perform. Don’t jah worry, man—we promise this is worth your time. | 9 pm. Free. Field House, 1150 Filbert St. eventbrite.com
High Tide
The tide is high… and so am I. Drink? Smoke? Both? Neither? Good news—this one’s perfect for you. Live podcast “Under the Influence” will be broadcast, so be sure to puff out some 4/20 questions. You can’t really Google every weed question you have without being put on a government watchlist. Ask questions away from the NSA at this hazy event. | 8 pm. $10-$25. 5213 Grays Ave. facebook.com
Your house, your couch
Listen, we’re not dumb. We’re well aware that we can suggest all of these events knowing full well you may just decide to light up the pen, roll a blunt or take a few bong rips to some stoner Netflix movie surrounded by a bag of Herr’s Sour Cream and Onion Chips and all the Goldenberg’s Peanut Chews you can eat. Do you, boo-boo. | 4:20pm. Free. Your living room [insert address here].
