It’s April 20, and you know what that means. Time to celebrate that sweet leaf with live music, drag performances, food, and more.
Other, more uptight folk might see it as the downfall of society or perhaps a “gateway drug,” but unless they mean a gateway to a more relaxed life then we couldn’t disagree more. Below you’ll find some of the myriad ways Austin is celebrating that merriest of Jane. Toke responsibly.
