Ann Arbor Hash Bash

High Noon @ The Diag

Every year on the first Saturday in April, downtown Ann Arbor becomes the ultimate destination for cannabis enthusiasts. Meet in the center of campus at the U-M Diag. Experience the  annual Ann Arbor Hash Bash, and nearby Monroe Street Fair, for history in the making. 

The arrest and imprisonment of poet John Sinclair —for possession of two joints—set Ann Arbor on the trajectory as Michigan’s (and perhaps the country’s) most pioneering cannabis community. Sinclair’s arrest and 10-year sentence led to protests and rallies, ultimately morphing into the iconic Hash Bash, an annual protest-fueled gathering since 1972.
