Tucson’s New 420 Fest Blends Food, Music & Cannabis Into One High-Vibe Celebration

Apr 4, 20252 min read

What if you found a golden Easter egg — and it was filled with joints or worth $100 in dispensary gift cards?

That’s just one of the surprises waiting for you at the first-ever 420 Fest, presented by Earth’s Healing, a brand-new cannabis, food, and music experience created by Tucson Foodie, Tucson Doobie, and Earth’s Healing. This exciting event takes place on Saturday, April 19, from 2–8 p.m. at the Whistle Stop Depot, a unique venue that’s been revitalized to give Tucson a fresh and exciting space to gather.

More than just a cannabis event, 420 Fest brings together the best of Tucson’s food, music, and cannabis scenes — all in one unforgettable day.

The Ultimate Cannabis Easter Egg Hunt

Here’s the fun part: a cannabis-themed Easter egg hunt hosted by The Prime Leaf. 300 eggs will be hidden around the venue, each filled with joints, edibles, and other surprises. Look out for the golden eggs — each one is worth $100 in gift cards to The Prime Leaf. Get ready to hunt and score some serious prizes.

Explore Cannabis in All Its Forms

At 420 Fest, you’ll get to explore some of Arizona’s best cannabis — from flower and concentrates to edibles and vapes — with these top vendors:

  • Earth’s Healing – running the official dab bar with their products
  • The Prime Leaf
  • SAINTS Dispensary
  • High West Farms
  • Halo Infusions
  • Piñatas Premium Cannabis
  • More vendors TBA

Don’t miss the Hot Box Tent by Tucson Party Patrol, mini acupuncture sessions by Dr. Heather Moroso, and some beautiful handcrafted items like pottery ashtrays by Kara Wiesmann and glass art by Greg Wilson and Jaw Glass.

Food & Drinks You’ll Love

You won’t go hungry at 420 Fest. We’ve got a great selection of local food that’s sure to satisfy:

  • Open-fire cooking by Chef Pablo Valencia
  • Malta Joe’s Pastizzi
  • An old school ice cream truck!

On the drink side, PHILTERS and Parch will be serving up refreshing botanical mocktails — a perfect way to cool off while enjoying the event.

Live Music That Keeps You Moving

We’ve got a great lineup of music to keep the energy up all day:

  • Herb N Life – Two live sets
  • DJ Jahmar – Spinning and hosting live hip hop performances
  • Desert Music Project
  • More acts TBA

Expect music that gets everyone moving and adds to the fun atmosphere.

@istanbultucson is expanding with a second location, @istanbulmediterraneanexpress, at 5660 W. Cortaro Farms Rd. 

The fast-casual spot will feature about 75% of the original location’s menu, plus two exclusive dishes: build-your-own Turkish stuffed baked potatoes, known as Kumpir, and fresh-ground doner made in-house. The falafel plate and stuffed potatoes can also be made vegan. 

“The first restaurant taught us what our customers love most, so at Cortaro we’re focusing the menu around our most popular dishes while making the experience a little more casual and convenient. Most importantly, we’ve learned that no matter how much we grow, the quality of our food has to stay high every single day.” — Kamran Esar

Daily hours: 11am - 9pm
