420 at Hippie Hill is a well-known San Francisco tradition, bringing tens of thousands of people from all over to Robin Williams Meadow (formerly Sharon Meadow) to celebrate the right to use cannabis.
In previous years, this "festival" was unpermitted and unofficial. It was awesome, but the event was growing larger every year, with increased violence, and the amount of trash left behind was unbelievable. Seriously... it was 11 tons in 2016.
To avoid a shutdown and make sure to make the event safe for everyone, the city actually permitted the event for a few years, bringing in sponsorships to help pay for fencing all around the perimeter of Sharon Meadows, increased security, port-o-potties (so necessary), food vendors/trucks, plus a sound system and DJs for entertainment. But the official event was cancelled in 2024.
2025 Update: According to ABC7, the "official" 420 celebration is canceled for 2025. But that doesn't mean all hope is lost. If there's one thing you can count on, is people to show up anyway and celebrate.
