Description
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. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

Description
At the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, the Diag is a large open space in the middle of the university's Central Campus. Originally known as the Diagonal Green, the Diag derives its name from the many sidewalks running near or through it in diagonal directions. It is arguably the busiest site on the university campus, hosting a variety of events including outdoor concerts, fundraisers, demonstrations, and sun bathing. The Diag is also a popular spot for local people to hang out. Some of these people, called "Diag Rats," spend a great deal of time loitering there. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
