Sour Magic is throwing a free, 4/20-style block party on South Broadway this Sunday, lining up live music, local vendors and giveaways that put pizza and pot on the same menu. The Sexy Chemistry Block Party will shut down the 1700 block starting at noon, organizers say, with free admission and early-bird perks handed out on a first-come basis. For Denver locals who would rather skip the massive festivals, it is a neighborhood-sized way to mark the weekend.
The lineup features Sour Magic plus six other local acts, all backed by a roster of nearby sponsors. According to Westword, the first 50 people in line at noon will walk away with a free eighth of a flower and a slice of pizza. Sour Magic says dispensary Good Chemistry has been fueling them with both product and creative support. Sponsors on the bill include Good Chemistry, Sexy Pizza, Public Offering Brewery, and HomeDog, with vendors expected to keep things moving through the afternoon.
Where To Go And What To Expect
The party will unfold along the 1700 block of South Broadway, a strip already packed with breweries, restaurants and small music venues. Good Chemistry operates a storefront in the corridor and is listed as a sponsor; Public Offering Brewery and Sexy Pizza round out the named partners. Expect a street-fair feel, with food, merch tables, short sets, and a chance to catch local bands without paying a cover.
Sour Magic's New Songs And The Week's Shows
The band says the sponsorship help has kicked their creativity into higher gear. They plan to debut two new songs live at the block party before dropping them as singles, according to Westword. Sour Magic is also booked for a Hi-Dive set next Saturday, with ticket and time details listed on the venue's event calendar. Between the open-air block party and the club gig, the group is using the 4/20 weekend to play for both casual passersby and paying fans.
A Legal Note
Colorado law allows adults 21 and older to buy and possess cannabis, but public consumption is still illegal and is generally limited to private property or licensed hospitality businesses under state guidance on social use. The City and County of Denver has also moved to crack down on unlicensed cannabis events and to steer organizers toward hospitality licenses, as local reporting has outlined. Hosts and attendees would be wise to keep those rules in mind and to treat any on-site giveaways accordingly.
