To be blunt, we’ve already started celebrating 4/20 at the L.A. TACO studio. 

We took our handy L.A. TACO 420 rolling tray and ground our finest flower for an honorable toke. 

And because we know we aren’t the only ones celebrating this weekend, we’ve rounded up some fun events filled with good food, music, and, of course, all the greenery you could ask for. 

We’re talking about nug hunts that will send you on a chase through West Hollywood, a highly elevated carnival in Hawthorne, and Kushstock. Get ready to get lit.

Growing Cannabis Workshop ~ Magnolia Park

Whether you call it hemp or marijuana, or enjoy THC and or CBD, many always wonder what the process would look like if they grew their own herb. 

Lucky for you, you can learn the pot-tential for growth in your garden at this “growing cannabis” workshop, set to take place on Saturday in Magnolia Park. Emily, the workshop's host, will help you get gardening with practical advice and resources for growing at home. The instructor will also show you items demonstrating a successful bloom throughout the process. 

This workshop will cover the how and why of growing, your starting material (clones, seeds, plants) outdoors on a patio or backyard, and provide step-by-step instructions and more.

This is Huntington Park. These are our homes. Our neighborhoods.
