The third annual Cannabash festival is set to deliver an unforgettable three-day celebration of cannabis culture and community from July 12th to 14th, 2024. This eagerly awaited event promises a vibrant atmosphere filled with camaraderie and appreciation for cannabis, drawing enthusiasts from all over to Baldwin, Michigan.
Cannabash will showcase a diverse array of musical performances, featuring top talents from across the nation. The festival's lineup spans multiple genres, including rock, country, and hip-hop, ensuring there's something for everyone. Notable artists such as Wiley J. Paso, Jodi Dro, DJ Prim, and Blake Banks will bring their unique sounds and infectious energy to the stage.

In an exciting development, festival organizer Grams & Jams Productions plans to build a permanent cannabis-friendly outdoor music venue in Baldwin. This venue, dubbed the Field of Greens, is believed to be the first of its kind in Michigan, designed to host numerous events throughout the year. Although the initial plan included launching with five events this warm season, the schedule has been adjusted to include two events. Following Cannabash, the next event will be the Summer Sendoff festival on August 23rd-24th, featuring the band Marcy Playground.
Cannabash first launched in Muskegon in 2022, with a focus on hip-hop, featuring acts like Bone Thugs-N-Harmony and Trick Trick. The festival has since grown in popularity, drawing around 12,000 attendees in 2023, with performances by Ludacris and Sada Baby. This year's expansion to three days and the introduction of the Field of Greens venue marks a significant milestone in its evolution, promising an even more engaging and immersive experience for attendees.
Join the Cannabash community this July to celebrate cannabis culture, enjoy exceptional music, and be part of a growing movement that champions both creativity and camaraderie.

"Moving into a new state isn't easy," said B Real. "Focusing on markets that have close ties to Cypress Hill is one of the main reasons I decided to bring Dr. Greenthumb's to Detroit. This city is synonymous with some of the most famous musicians and music artists in the world. Cypress Hill is part of that legacy so it only made sense that Detroit would be home to the first Dr. Greenthumb's retailer outside of California."

Michigan's burgeoning cannabis industry takes a celebratory turn with the debut of the "Best in Grass" cannabis competition. Initiated by Mark Kazinec, this event is set to highlight top-tier, locally-grown cannabis in 14 recreational categories. Interested participants looking to judge these products must hurry, as the registration deadline is rapidly approaching on May 19th.
Judging at the Best in Grass competition is more than an observational role—it's an active contribution to the future of cannabis in Michigan. Each judge will be equipped with a special kit containing diverse cannabis products and a Judge Access Card for entry into an exclusive judging portal. Here, judges will assess entries on visual appeal, aroma, taste, and effects, offering detailed feedback.
Mark Kazinec stresses the importance of individuality in the judging process. "We provide examples of thorough judging comments," he notes, "but we respect that each judge brings their own palate and unique perspective, which we encourage them to express freely."
The Best in Grass aims not only to recognize the finest cannabis products but also to engage real Michigan consumers. Kazinec explains that the competition serves as a platform for consumers to explore new brands and provide feedback, crucial for brands aiming to refine their products. This feedback loop promises to enhance the overall quality of cannabis offerings available to the public.
Distinguishing itself from other events, Best in Grass prides itself on fairness and transparency. Unlike typical competitions judged by industry insiders, this event employs a broad pool of impartial judges to avoid bias, ensuring genuine, reliable results. Measures are also in place to prevent brands and their affiliates from judging, maintaining the integrity of the competition.
Organizing such a comprehensive event is not without its hurdles, especially regarding compliance and regulations. Kazinec and his team are committed to overcoming these challenges through diligent collaboration with businesses and communities, ensuring the competition adheres to legal standards.
Judges participating in Best in Grass will have the unique opportunity to attend the live awards ceremony at the Royal Oak Music Theatre on June 18th. Dubbed the "Oscars of the cannabis industry," the event will feature a green carpet and a black-tie/cocktail dress code, allowing judges to connect with the creators of the products they reviewed.
As the competition draws to a close with the deadline on May 19th, the anticipation builds with early results trickling in. This is a prime opportunity to help determine the standout cannabis products in Michigan. For those interested in joining as judges, register promptly to secure a spot in this landmark event.
