In a surprise announcement Tuesday, organizers of the annual 4/20 Hippie Hill event in Golden Gate Park said the cannabis celebration will not be happening as planned this year.
Organizers said that cuts in the city budget made staffing difficult while the climate of the cannabis industry made it difficult to secure sponsors this year.The event is jointly put on by the San Francisco Recreation and Park Department and event organizer Sounds Bazaar."We have been unable to secure enough financial sponsorship to get everything required for a safe, clean, city & state-compliant event," the group posted, promising to return next year.
And Alex Leal posted what was on everyone's mind: "Yeah right, people still going to flock to SF. Organized event or not." Park spokeswoman Tamara Barak Aparton said there will be sports activities held that day. SF Recreation and Park Department has partnered with Volo Sports to run volleyball and kickball tournaments at Robin Williams Meadow on April 20, she said.
