01Beginnings
The sources do not say when the Hash Bash Cup itself started, or who set it up. What they do give is the backdrop: the Hash Bash event it sits beside.
That gathering first took place in 1972, following a Michigan Supreme Court ruling on the conviction of activist John Sinclair2. It was put together by local activists, and the source names no formal organising body2.
02The story
One well-documented chapter is the 2024 edition, held on April 5, 20241. It took place at the Wyndham Gardens and the Hampton Inn and Suites in Romulus, in the Detroit area of Michigan1.
That weekend lined up with the 53rd annual Hash Bash in Ann Arbor1. The podium went to Matthew Pankinin in first, Ashley Anderson in second and Anthony Fletcher in third1. The sources do not say what each of them entered, or how many people competed.
03Culture
The cup lives inside a bigger festival mood. The main Hash Bash event is held on the Diag at the University of Michigan campus in Ann Arbor, with the High Noon gathering starting at noon2. It is said to have begun with roughly 150 people and now draws as many as about 15,0002.
The 2024 write-up also paid tribute to John Sinclair, who lived from 1941 to April 2, 2024, and who had spoken at Hash Bash in 20011. An afterparty is usually held at Dominick's2.
04Where it stands now
The latest edition the sources cover is 2025. The cup was set to run at the Wyndham Garden Hotel and Hampton Inn & Suites from 3pm on April 4 to 6pm on April 62. Hash Bash itself fell on Saturday, April 5, 2025, the first Saturday of the month2.
One source describes the 2025 cup as being in Ann Arbor1, while the other names the same two hotels without giving a town2. The sources do not settle this. They also do not name 2025 winners or say how many editions there have been2.
05Future
The sources do not say anything about plans for later editions, dates or changes. Check the organisers' own announcements before planning a trip.
