Get Hazy at These 4/20 Parties in Miami

With recreational marijuana legalization back on the state ballot this fall, Florida cannabis enthusiasts — or, less politely, stoners — may have a lot to celebrate this 4/20. Whether or not you're an aficionado of the herb in its many varied forms, the unofficial national holiday for weed is also a good excuse to throw a party, and that's something Miami excels at.

Since April 20 falls on a Saturday this year, Miami's nightlife sector is truly bringing its A-game. Massive raves and mini-festivals, waterfront world music jams, celebrations of cannabis culture, and more are in store. Find New Times' picks for the best 4/20 events in Miami below.

In the Box Presents Freak at Over Under

That cloud of smoke you're likely to see floating out of downtown bar Over Under on 4/20 could be marijuana — or it could be that the DJs have (metaphorically) set the place on fire with their tracks. In the Box is letting the Freak flag fly with a night of high-speed dance music — ghettotech, footwork, Miami bass, and other club styles — courtesy of local DJs Duality and Extraa, supporting North Carolina-based Simon Smthng in the headline spot. And the best part? It's free! 11 p.m. Saturday, April 20, at Over Under, 151 E. Flagler St., Miami; 786-247-9851; overundermiami.com. Admission is free.

III Joints 2024 at Factory Town

Probably the biggest event on this list by volume, III Points' annual 4/20 party has evolved into an enormous stoner-rave-stravaganza at the massive Factory Town warehouse venue. So many notable local bands and DJs are playing this show across the venue's five stages that it would probably take less time to name the ones that aren't gonna be there. Some of the familiar faces at this locals-only party include Berrakka, Coffintexts, the Floridians, Jaialai, Jonny From Space, Pressure Point, Romulo del Castillo, Sister System, Taimur, Terence Tabeau, and Yung Algebra. In addition to music and plenty of food vendors, the promoter is bringing back the III Points Skate Space and the Reefer Theater film screening program, and VIP pass holders (a reasonable $50 as of this writing) can access Kushy's VIP Lounge, which features smoking stations, an "infused cacao tea room," a separate entrance, dedicated bathrooms, an open bar, and, most importantly, air conditioning. 3 p.m. Saturday, April 20, at Factory Town, 4800 NW 37th Ave., Miami; factorytown.com. Tickets cost $11 to $50 via dice.fm.
