The Vancouver Park Board is formally requesting that Cypress Hill’s free 4/20 concert be cancelled.
At a meeting on Monday night, Park Board Commissioner John Coupar raised a motion to ask event organizers to cancel this headlining act. The motion passed and Park Board staff will now contact 4/20 festival organizers to cancel the concert.

The Park Board argues that allowing Cypress Hill to perform will only make the event get even more out of hand, attracting bigger crowds to Sunset Beach.
Likewise, there are commissioners who have taken issue with lyrics in some of group’s songs.

4/20 Festival
Back in February, the Vancouver Park Board has passed a motion to keep the annual 4/20 festival away from Sunset Beach by 2020.
While no doubt popular, the event creates a great deal of damage. In fact, the area sustained so much damage during last year’s protest that the Sunset Beach Park was closed for weeks. Further, the City of Vancouver spent roughly $245,000 on extensive repairs and costs after the 2017 event.
4/20’s 2019 event is scheduled for this Saturday.
