It’s 1971.

4:20PM.

Five friends, who call themselves the Waldos, meet at their designated spot after school to get stoned. One day, a lucky Waldo got their hands on a treasure map that led to an abandoned cannabis crop.

The plan? Get high, drive out, and search for the crops of gold. After many failed attempts, the group called it quits on the search, but 4:20pm became their code-word for cannabis. Since then, Waldos story has evolved into a cannabis holiday and revolution.

In honor of the Waldos, we present: Waldos Forever Fest.
