United States California San Francisco

Mission Dolores Park

A vibrant urban green space in SF, famous for its panoramic city views, bustling social scene, and diverse community events.

Dolores park has become a popular gathering place for the LGBTQ+ community, hosting numerous events, rallies, and celebrations, especially during Pride Month and other significant dates. Over the years, Dolores Park has become a symbol of inclusivity and acceptance, reflecting the broader culture of San Francisco.

During the 1960s and 1970s, San Francisco was a focal point for the counterculture movement specifically, and cannabis was center stage. Dolores Park became known as a place where people could openly consume cannabis, reflecting the city's progressive attitudes toward marijuana.

Dolores Park has been a popular spot for 4/20 cannabis celebrations, where people gather to celebrate cannabis culture openly and freely on April 20th. A different kind of experience than the iconic Hippie Hill in Golden Gate Park.

Let us take a moment to reflect on cannabis pioneer, Alice B Toklas, cannabis edible visionary and the original ‘Mother of the Pot Brownie’.  Many believe the term ‘to toke’ originates from Alice B Toklas and her inspiring cannabis advocacy work. Born in San Francisco in 1877, in 1954 Toklas published The Alice B. Toklas Cookbook which includes a recipe for hashish fudge.
