April 6, 2019…the weekend that marked the 48th year of the Ann Arbor Hash Bash, It is also year one of legalization.

From the Hash Bash two more successful cannabis events have spawned… one being the Monroe Street Fair which is on its 18th annual event and the Hash Bash Cup at the Wyndham Hotel.

Being the first year of legalization we certainly anticipated a huge crowd but I don’t think anyone was prepared for the number of people who attended.

Kicking off the weekend on Friday night was the 3^rd annual Hash Bash Cup put together by former Hash Bash Organizer Adam L. Brook and a great team of folks.
