San Francisco Cancels 4/20 Hippie Hill Celebration for Second Year

Economic challenges in the cannabis industry and city budget cuts lead to another cancellation, with informal gatherings expected to continue.

San Francisco's official 4/20 celebration at Hippie Hill has been canceled for the second consecutive year due to financial and logistical challenges.
Organizers cite economic struggles in the cannabis industry and city budget cuts as key reasons for the cancellation.
The city will host an alternative event, 'Peace, Love and Volo Field Day,' featuring kickball and volleyball tournaments.
Despite the cancellation, thousands of attendees informally gathered at Hippie Hill in 2024, and similar gatherings are anticipated this year.
The 2025 4/20 date coincides with Easter Sunday, which will also feature other cultural events like 'Hunky Jesus' in Dolores Park.
