A 4/20 celebration that was supposed to kick off at 3 p.m. got underway in typical stoner fashion on Thursday – only four hours late.
The 420 Festival Hotel Takeover, presented by The Piperazzi, featured vendors and live music by Kirko Bangz. VIP festivalgoers were treated to swag bags filled with tons of goodies, including 2 grams of the green stuff.
The event – one of scores of 4/20 celebrations across the Valley – was held at the Egyptian Motor Hotel, a repurposed midcentury hotel on Grand Avenue that debuted its vintage makeover with a party of its own in January. The 49-room hotel now boasts a live entertainment venue with 250 seats and hip restaurant.
The Egyptian Motor Hotel in downtown Phoenix served as the perfect backdrop to the 420 Festival Hotel Takeover. A sizeable stage, full bar, and splash pool delighted festivalgoers until 2 a.m.
