Two weed festivals expect to attract a couple thousand people at each of their puffed-up events in celebration of the 420 holiday in Delaware. 

The two events are Spring Fling at Fire Base Lloyd in Townsend and the 420 Pregamin BlowChella at Hudson Fields in Milton. Both events are from April 19-20. 

These 420 festivals are both for ages 21 or older, and guests are encouraged to bring their own weed. Both events will feature live music, vendors, food trucks and more.

Here’s a half-baked preview of some of the highlights from both cannabis fests. 

What is 420 Spring Fling in Delaware? 

The Delfire Group (hosts of the annual Weedstock festival in September), in collaboration with Delaware NORML, is celebrating 420 with Spring Fling, a party that will last 30 hours. 

The event will include over a dozen musical acts like The Wag, Big Boy Brass and Gretchen Emery Band. In addition to vendors and food, there will also be workshops, arts and crafts. 

Cynthia Ferguson, event manager for Delfire Group, said Weedstock and Spring Fling have been held at Fire Base Lloyd for several years and the vibes have been chill. Guests should expect the same this year.   

“You’ll never get hassled here. People are very friendly. They’re very helpful,” Ferguson said.

What is 420 Blowchella in Delaware?  

420 Pregamin BlowChella invites the cannabis community to hang out for a weekend of weed, munchies, canines, vendors, art exhibits and dancing, from April 19-20. While it technically starts at 10 a.m., the celebration will really get underway at 4:20 p.m. on April 19.

Guests will also compete in games from the Weed Olympics and Stoner Obstacle Course. But hours before the weed games, there will be a friendly meetup with bulldogs-themed Bullchella.  

BlowChella is a collaboration with ChooseJoy (a Dover-based nonprofit that offers financial support to fire victims who lost their homes), cannabis advocate Phil Hardin of Delaware Loves Cannabis, and Taishawn Frisby (a community leader in Sussex County). Proceeds will benefit ChooseJoy. 

What’s the Delaware Weed Olympics and Stoner Obstacle Course?

BlowChella is giving guests a chance to prove marijuana smokers aren’t lazy people through its Weed Olympics and Stoner Obstacle Course at 10 p.m. on April 19. 

“Who don’t remember being a teenager and being like, ‘I roll a better joint than you. My blunts look better,’” Dawn said. “Well, now we can actually figure out who really does roll a better joint blindfolded.” 

According to the BlowChella website, these games include events like: 

• The Blunt Roll & Dash: Roll a (fake) blunt while speed-walking a short track. You have to start over if you drop it. 
• Slo-Mo Smoker Sprint: The runner who runs with the slowest time wins. 
• Deep Diving: Take a massive bong rip and see who can hold it in the longest.  
• Munchie Mow Down: Race against the clock to see who can devour the most hot wings in one minute. 

What is Bullchella in Delaware?  

BlowChella actually begins with a bulldog meet-and-greet event called “Bullchella” from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on April 19. There will be a designated area where humans can smoke weed during Bullchella, said Theresa Dawn, founder of ChooseJoy.  

Fans of bulldogs will have a chance to meet other bullies at Bullchella. Since this event is bulldog themed, guests are only allowed to bring bulldog breeds of any kind, Dawn said. She added that guests must bring dogs that are trained, leashed, and not on their estrus cycle. 

Prizes and ribbons will be awarded to bullies in various categories.

What is 420? 

April 20, or 4/20, marks the annual holiday to unofficially celebrate all things marijuana. 

Marijuana is illegal under federal law in the U.S. But as some states, including Delaware, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, legalize or decriminalize it, Americans overwhelmingly favor the legalization of marijuana for medical and recreational use, according to a Pew Research Center survey. 

Events like BlowChella and Spring Fling give Delawareans an opportunity to smoke the legal limit of weed in a festival setting. 

“We are asking our guests to follow the rules,” Dawn said about BlowChella. “Bring your own bud, don’t bring more than you’re legally allowed to have on you. Follow the rules and let’s have fun.”

But Townsend opposed the change, saying the oversight mechanisms Richardson was seeking are already in place, along with a separate duty from medical professionals to report violations.

All of the Republican senators opposed the bill, along with Democratic state Sens. Spiros Mantzavinos, Nicole Poore and Jack Walsh. Many of them said they were concerned it was a slippery slope that could lead to the guardrails being chipped away to allow people with disabilities, the mentally ill and the elderly to request the medication.

“What’s unthinkable is where this has happened in other places and what has happened – where this has led to a financial reckoning,” Sen. Brian Pettyjohn, R-Georgetown, said. “‘Well, it’s going to cost you more to treat you than to give you the pill and to put you down. You’re a burden to us. You know you don’t want to be a burden to us, do you? Go ahead and take the pill. Be done.’ That is what’s happened in other places. I don’t want to see that happen in Delaware.”

Townsend argued that legislation would allow terminally ill patients the ability to die with dignity and peace.

“They are looking for the respect of the law and the respect of lawmakers to give them a reasonable option with significant guardrails and consultation with medical professionals,” he said. “What to me is unthinkable is the idea that we would not provide that reasonable system and instead leave them the alternative that people do choose to exercise outside of a framework like this.”

Both newly elected Democratic state Sens. Dan Cruce, D-Wilmington, and Ray Seigfried, D-North Brandywine, voted yes on the bill. Gov. Meyer expressed support for last year’s version of the bill earlier this year.
