Hash Bash is an annual cannabis-centered event held in Ann Arbor, Michigan, originally held on the first Saturday of April at noon on the University of Michigan Diag.

A collection of live music and speeches centered on the goal of reforming federal, state, and local marijuana laws.

Local musician, Laith Al-Saadi, will kick off festivities by performing the national anthem on guitar. John Sinclair was set to join him, but sadly passed away on April 2.

This year’s Hash Bash speakers lineup includes several longtime cannabis activists, including Leni Sinclair, Chuck Ream and Tim Beck, as well as representatives from various groups and entities ranging from the Michigan Psychedelic Society to the Washtenaw County Prosecutor’s Office. Local politicians such as Sen. Jeff Irwin, U.S. Rep. Debbie Dingell and state Rep. Jimmie Wilson Jr. also are on the lineup.
