420 Fest in Redwood Park

The turnout was smaller, due to rain, at this year's annual celebration of cannabis culture. Police and the City Manager seemed to do more to discourage the unpermited festival than in previous years, but it was the steady rain all day that kept the attendance down. Still, the people that showed up seemed to be enjoying the event.
