Dispensary Holiday Hours & 420 Deals in Michigan — 2026 Calendar

Michigan dispensaries are open almost every day of the year, including most holidays. But certain dates bring massive sales that can save you 20-50% on cannabis products. Here's the complete 2026 calendar of cannabis holidays, dispensary hours, and when to shop for the best deals in New Buffalo and across Michigan.

The Big Cannabis Holidays

420 — April 20 (Monday, 2026)

April 20th is the Super Bowl of cannabis retail. Every dispensary in New Buffalo will be open — many with extended hours starting as early as 7am. This is the single biggest sales day of the year. Expect:

  • Storewide discounts of 20-40% off
  • BOGO deals on flower, edibles, and cartridges
  • Free gifts with purchase (rolling papers, lighters, branded merchandise, free pre-rolls)
  • Special product drops — limited-edition strains and collaborations timed for 420
  • Bundle deals — curated packs combining flower, pre-rolls, edibles, and more at a package price

Lines can be long, especially midday. Go early morning (before 10am) or late evening for shorter waits. Many dispensaries start their 420 sales a few days early (4/18-4/19) or extend them through 4/22, so you don't have to shop on the 20th itself to get deals.

710 Day — July 10 (Friday, 2026)

July 10th (7/10 — flip it upside down and it spells "OIL") is the cannabis concentrate holiday. If you're into dabs, this is your day. Dispensaries run their deepest discounts on:

  • Wax, shatter, budder, crumble — often 25-40% off
  • Live resin and live rosin — premium products at mid-tier prices
  • Diamonds and sauce — special 710 bundles
  • Dab accessories — rigs, bangers, torches, and electronic dab pens on sale
  • Cartridges and vape pens — BOGO or percentage-off deals

710 Day is still growing in popularity. Lines are shorter than 420, but the deals on concentrates are often just as good or better. If you normally buy live resin at $40/g, you might find it at $25/g on 710.

Green Wednesday — November 25 (Wednesday, 2026)

The day before Thanksgiving has become "Green Wednesday" in the cannabis industry — and for many dispensaries, it's actually a bigger sales day than Black Friday. People stock up for the long Thanksgiving weekend, and dispensaries respond with aggressive deals. Expect storewide sales of 20-30% off, BOGO on popular categories, and pre-holiday bundle packs. If you're only going to shop one holiday sale, this might be the move — great deals with less competition than 420.

Black Friday — November 27 (Friday, 2026)

Cannabis Black Friday deals rival Green Wednesday. Many dispensaries run their sales from Green Wednesday through the entire weekend (including Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday). Doorbuster specials, flash sales throughout the day, and the deepest discounts of the fall season. Some shops offer exclusive strains or products only available during Black Friday weekend.

  • Buy in bulk — Holiday bundle deals (ounce specials, multi-gram concentrate packs) offer the deepest per-unit savings.
  • Compare across shops — With 29 dispensaries in New Buffalo, prices vary. Check 2-3 shops before committing, especially for big purchases.
  • Check the week before — Many dispensaries start "pre-420" or "pre-Black Friday" sales 3-5 days early. You might get the same deals without the crowds.
