For those who don't know, the 4/20 date is one in which all things marijuana are celebrated.
The 86-year-old musician has been an advocate of marijuana for decades. Hosted by Nelson, the event will be supporting the NGO 'The Last Prisoner', which aims to try to reverse the impact of the criminalization of marijuana. Here is everything you need to know about the event.
What is it about?
"In honor of Luck's landlord and the unofficial patron saint of weed, Luck and Willie's Reserve are also joining forces to launch the #comeandtokeit #passleft challenge: perhaps the world's only chance to knock smoking with Willie Nelson off their bucket list," according to Luck Reunion's site.
So far, musicians Toby Keith, Shakey Graves, Jack Ingram and more are set to join Nelson's celebration.

"This 4/20 at 4.20 PM CT we're bringing together artistes, chefs, comedians, educators and more for 4 hours and 20 minutes of cannabis-centric entertainment hosted by Willie Nelson himself — all from the comfort of quarantine," the description reads on a YouTube trailer-of-sorts promoting the event.
"Whether you partake or not, this is your chance to live the dream," a posting on the site stated. "Luck will be asking fans to post a video of themselves passing (whatever toking material of their choice) to the left with the hashtags #ComeandTokeIt #PassLeft. Select videos will be featured during the Come And Toke It broadcast before Willie takes the last hit on air."
Fans of the country musician are ecstatic that they finally get the chance to share a spliff with him. "Omg have waited half my life to smoke my first joint With Willie Nelson. I’m 63 now times getting short can’t wait now I’ve got to find some weed lol. It won’t be in person but maybe I’ll be so high I won’t know the difference. Love you Willie!" commented one.
