Tucson has its own area code, its own vibe, and now a day where local retailers show their true Tucson style. 520 Day is Tucson’s own day: a celebration of community, culture, and the brands that make the Tucson cannabis scene what it is. And this year, NatureMed is throwing a party worth showing up early for.
From 4-7 p.m. on (you guessed it) May 20, patrons can expect a block-party atmosphere with multiple cannabis brands and food trucks onsite at 5390 W. Ina Rd. There’s opportunities to engage directly with brand representatives, ask questions or find out about new cannabis products. The helpful budtenders at NatureMed are always on deck to recommend products for symptom relief or just to take the edge off.
