Music legend Willie Nelson is a renowned marijuana enthusiast, which makes today, 4/20, a very important day in the Nelson household—and the rest of the country.
To celebrate in style while complying with social distancing measures, the 86-year-old musician will lead the "Come and Toke it" livestream on Luck Reunion's Facebook page right here and on Twitch. The virtual event will kick off at 5:30pm EST and will, fittingly, last four hours and 20 minutes.
A bunch of comedians, educators, chefs and celebrities will join in on the fun, including Matthew McConaughey, Jeff Bridges, Billy Ray Cyrus, Kacey Musgraves, Bill Maher, Beto O'Rourke and more. Talk about a star-studded lineup.
In case you're not familiar with Luck: the event venue in Spicewood, Texas was built in "1985 as the backdrop for the film Red Headed Stranger [...] in Willie Nelson's backyard on the outskirts of Austin." Eventually becoming a "gathering place" for Nelson and his friends, the site plays host to Luck Reunion, Nelson's Texas festival, annually.
"Come and Toke it" will benefit the Last Prisoner Project, a nonprofit coalition of cannabis industry leaders "dedicated to bringing restorative justice to the cannabis industry." A party for a good cause? We're always game.
