Denver’s annual 4/20 festival in Civic Center Park has been free since it originated as a political event in the early ‘90s, then morphed into a major celebration. But starting this year, attendees will have to pay to get in.

As Southwest Airlines recently showed, nothing stays free forever.

Starting this year, general admission for a ticket to the Mile High 420 Festival is $20 (plus fees) until April 10, when base prices go up to $25.

Denver’s annual marijuana-friendly gathering at Civic Center on or near April 20 is one of the biggest 4/20 celebrations in the world. The event added a free concert and vendor space in the late 2000s as medical marijuana and then recreational marijuana became legal.
