Civic Center Park 4/20 gatherings

Civic Center Park has hosted annual 4/20 rallies and hemp-related events that draw large crowds and media attention. Colorado legalized recreational marijuana in 2012, and public 4/20 gatherings in Denver became a recurring public event tied to that change. Locals frequently make lighthearted jokes about Denver's cannabis culture in reference to these gatherings. The park is also the site for other major civic events and rallies.
