Coming Up: 39th Annual Ann Arbor Hash Bash & Monroe Street Fair
Come to the University of Michigan Diag at high noon on Saturday, April 3rd for speeches, performances, and ‘acts of civil disobedience.’
As Wikipedia says:
Hash Bash is an annual event held in Ann Arbor, Michigan, on the first Saturday of April at high noon on the University of Michigan Diag. A collection of speeches, live music, street vending and occasional civil disobedience are centered on the goal of reforming federal, state, and local marijuana laws. The first Hash Bash was held on Saturday, April 1 1972 in response to the March 9th 1972 decision by Michigan Supreme Court declaring unconstitutional the law used to convict cultural activist John Sinclair for possession of two marijuana joints. This action left the State of Michigan without a law prohibiting the use of marijuana until after the weekend of April 1 1972. Chef Ra was a fixture of the Hash Bash for 19 consecutive years before his death in late 2006.
Following that, is the Monroe Street Fair, where you can stock up on water-pipes and rolling papers; all while listening to marijuana-friendly music. The official page is here.
Finally, go to the Blind Pig to wrap up the day with some local Ann Arbor talent.
