How is the Artist Tree in Fresno marking April 20 – or 420 day?
FRESNO, Calif. (KSEE/KGPE) – April 20 is often a day for celebration by those who enjoy using marijuana. To those who specifically mark the day, it is known as 420 day.
To recognize April 20, 2024, The Artist Tree in Fresno is organizing a big 4/20 celebration on Saturday.
The Artist Tree celebrates its first 4/20 in Fresno
“We’re very excited this year it falls on a Saturday,” Artistry Co-Founder Lauren Fontein said, “we’ll have free food in partnership with some of the restaurants in the plaza, including Planet Vegan.”
Fontein says she’s proud that the Artist Tree is Fresno’s first dispensary. In the time the Artist Tree has called Fresno home, she says they’ve planted roots.
“Our store is part of the third [monthly] Thursday ArtHop and we’re often at the first Thursday ones downtown,” Fontein said, “we’ve been working with the Fresno Arts Council since we started to do community work with them, and also to source artists.”
Though Fontein says their Fresno store has garnered a loyal customer base, she says their 4/20 event is the perfect introduction for anyone curious about cannabis products.
“There’s a lot of non-cannabis aspects to the celebration,” Fontein says, “you can just come out and have some free dessert, or get something from Planet Vegan, or listen to music, or come see art.”
