The weekend snowstorm shut down Denver’s annual 420 marijuana rally, but organizers hope to pull together an extravaganza at one of the city’s premier entertainment venues.
“I’m not ruling out Sports Authority, I think it is a possibility,” said Rob Corry, attorney for the Denver 420 rally.
Artists scheduled to appear at the postponed Saturday rally included Lil Wayne and Wiz Khalifa.
“These performers are high-level, plus you have the cultural significance of Denver and the 420 rally. This is ground zero for ending marijuana prohibition.”
More than 100,000 pot enthusiasts were expected to attend the gathering on Saturday at Civic Center.
Organizers have said they will not refund tickets for the event, which was postponed Saturday morning because of wet, snowy weather. Although the event is free, organizers sold special access passes.
“I wouldn’t rule out doing it at Civic Center,” Corry said. “We have got to talk to Denver about that.”
But the park in Downtown Denver is busy during the summer, and many events are scheduled, said Cynthia Karvaski, spokeswoman for Denver Parks and Recreation.
