Ann Arbor’s annual Hash Bash is going digital due to the ongoing pandemic.
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.
