We’re hard at work putting together some exciting deals for Green Wednesday and Black Friday! While we’re still finalizing the details, you can expect plenty of great opportunities to save on your favorites. We’ll be announcing our official promotions as the dates get closer, so stay tuned for more updates!
The week of Thanksgiving in Brooklyn always feels a little charged, but over the past few years, cannabis shoppers have built new holiday traditions of their own. Just before the turkey goes in the oven, Green Wednesday brings promotions to dispensaries across the city, often rivaling Black Friday itself for savings and selection. If you’re cannabis shopping in Park Slope or Gowanus, here’s how to plan your week and what you can expect from Budega’s 2026 holiday lineup.
What Is Green Wednesday?
Green Wednesday lands the day before Thanksgiving, falling on November 25, 2026. While Black Friday has decades of retail history, Green Wednesday is much newer, shaped by the post-legalization era and the rush of shoppers stocking up for gatherings, travel, or a little extra relaxation before the holiday storm. In many Brooklyn neighborhoods, dispensaries now offer limited-time specials leading right into Thanksgiving and Black Friday.
How Green Wednesday and Black Friday Differ
Both Green Wednesday and Black Friday regularly feature specials in Brooklyn dispensaries, but their flavor is a bit different. Green Wednesday is often about stocking up and prepping for holiday downtime, with flash sales or bundle deals leading right into Thanksgiving. Black Friday, by comparison, may highlight longer promotional hours and a broader sweep of discounts, sometimes spotlighting products you didn’t pick up earlier in the week.
In neighborhoods like Park Slope and Gowanus, the holiday calendar makes it easy to plan a route that fits your schedule. Between family gatherings, Friendsgiving drop-ins, and city outings, more locals are treating these cannabis shopping days as must-shop moments, not just afterthoughts post-Thanksgiving meal.
