This year 4/20 falls on a Sunday, so you can finally relax to the max during a beautiful weekend. Remember to follow all our local and state laws* and don’t imbibe in public places. But whether you partake or not, there are so many events going on this weekend that everyone can enjoy.
Read on for the top 4/20 events in Seattle!
1. Get a sub for $4.20
Cheba Hut Toasted Subs in the U District is offering 4” subs for $4.20 this Sunday! They’ll also have live music, giveaways, and raffles on Saturday, April 19.
2. Giggle at a stoned improv show
Bandit Theater is performing their improv show “Who’s High?” on the evening of Saturday, April 19 at Here-After in Belltown for ages 21+. The twist is that half of the cast is high and the other half is sober—and they’re not telling who is who. Take a guess after the show! You can get all the information and buy tickets on the Bandit Theater website.
A second improv option is The Stoner Chicks performing on the evening of 4/20, also at Here-After. They’re taking their stoner comedy off their podcast and onto the stage. Tickets here.
3. Relax in a Ganja Yoga session
Relax to the max during a virtual Ganja Yoga session led by Inward Visions yoga studio. This BIPOC-focused studio loves to “share the benefits of yoga and meditation… and help people improve flexibility and range of motion in order to combat the effects of our daily habits.” They have a special 4/20 session this Sunday at 4:20 p.m. over Zoom. You can see more on their website here.
4. Listen to music in the Laser Dome
Pacific Science Center’s Laser Dome is hosting a special evening laser show on Sunday in celebration of 4/20.

They recommend coming in an elevated mood, but obviously you can’t smoke or vape inside the Laser Dome itself. See more info on the Pacific Science Center’s website.

A little local getaway or staycation could be the perfect way to celebrate 4/20 since it falls on a Sunday this year.
