The marijuana festival, which is turning 50 this year, will feature a variety-show format, hosted by former Fox 2 News anchor Anqunette Sarfoh.
Proceeds from this year's festival will go to the John Sinclair Foundation and the the Michigan Cannabis Prisoner Freedom Fund.
“Hash Bash is committed to the advocacy of federal cannabis legalization and to giving cannabis users and patients a voice," Sarfoh, a medical marijuana patient, said in a statement from festival organizers. "We are excited to carry on this tradition with a new and innovative format that our attendees can feel safe attending."
Organizers hope the event will return to the University of Michigan Diag next year.
The variety show will kick off at high noon on April 3.
