HOLYOKE — Tomorrow on 4/20, a day when cannabis aficionados hail their favorite psychotropic flower, a Western Massachusetts business leader and a city mayor will be meeting with canna fans and stumping for legalizing social consumption sites for weed.

Holyoke Mayor Joshua A. Garcia and Canna Provisions CEO Meg Sanders will both be attending a Canna Provisions block party at 380 Dwight St., featuring food, music and an array of vendors Saturday from 1 to 6 p.m. for those 21 and older. Canna Provisions opened the city’s first recreational marijuana dispensary in 2020.
