Inaugural CannaBash festival draws thousands to celebrate marijuana

MUSKEGON, MI — The CannaBash 2022 festival drew thousands to Muskegon for the townโ€™s first marijuana consumption festival on Saturday, July 9, 2022.

The event was held at Softball World and hosted by Cannabis Lupus Cafรฉ, and seven of the townโ€™s cannabis retailers were there selling products including Kai Cannabis, Pure Options, Cloud Cannabis, Luckyโ€™s, High Profile, Skymint and NOBO.

Along with cannabis vendors, the festival included food trucks, a fireworks show and kickball and softball games.

The festival also hosted musical performances on two stages featuring Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Trick Trick (with band), Luniz, Sloan Bone, Willy J Peso, Kelsey Lynn and Echoes of Pink Floyd.

โ€œMuskegon Township is very receptive to cannabis and is really helpful with getting started in the business. Their arms are wide open here,โ€ said Marc Robert, co-owner of Luckyโ€™s Community Cannabis Company, one of the seven cannabis companies on the board of organizers for Saturdayโ€™s event.

โ€œThe township board is very enthusiastic about seeing if we can incorporate this lifestyle and this cannabis into our community in a safe manner and have people accept it more than it already is,โ€ said Jennifer Hogges, Muskegon Township supervisor.

When asked if the board would like to see the event become annual Hogges said, โ€œI canโ€™t say sure. Weโ€™ll have to see it seems to be going well.โ€
