Opening up at high-noon on Friday, April 5 for vending. People start checking into hotel around 12pm (all 164 rooms are reserved for Michigan NORML and will be sold out). Michigan NORML's Annual Spring Meeting will start at 6pm in the banquet room. Ending around 7:00-7:30 the banquet room will then be set up for the Membership's Free Dance with the local band The Outlets playing from 9-midnight with laser show.
Keith Stroup (NORML founder), Dan Skye and Craig Coffey (High Times) will be staying with us at the Clarion and we will enjoy their company both Friday night and Saturday night.
Saturday at High Noon the Hash Bash starts and runs for an hour. The 12th Annual Monroe Street Fair starts early Saturday morning and the music starts at High Noon and continues to 6:00pm. There will be some traffic at the Clarion during this time and we will have someone to watch over the vending area so everyone can go and enjoy the day. Many vendors will also leave someone at Clarion for the people who do come to check out the venue. The majority of people attend Hash Bash and Monroe Street on Saturday. This is part of the reason that the prices for vendors are set low, taking into account some of the vendors will be participating at both venues and actual face time for vending while at Clarion.For mor info please check: www.minorml.org
We are proud to recognize and thank our 12th Annual Ann Arbor Monroe Street Fair Hash Bash Festival Sponsors and upon that please support them as they help to bring this event to Ann Arbor each year.
Michigan NORML has been a long time vendor, sponsor, supporter and partner of the Monroe Street Fair since its earliest days. Michigan NORML’s booth has been at the cornerstone of the fair, in space #1 at the corner of Monroe Street and Oakland since the fair basically organized in its second year.
Michigan NORML provides essential operational support on the day of the event. Perhaps the most important responsibility is providing for emergency street access via barricade duty at each end of the street. Should an emergency vehicle, or resident, need access to the street, the Michigan NORML members quickly move the barricades to allow access. Four members rotate throughout the day. One time, Michigan NORML volunteers have even saved a handicapped woman in a wheelchair. As the woman dressed in brightly colored clothes wheeled slowly towards the approach to the sidewalk at the corner of Monroe Street and Oakland, near the Michigan NORML booth, she lost her balance at the entrance to the sidewalk, and as her wheelchair started to tumble, the Barricade Crew leaped into action and rescued her before she hit the ground. Now that’s what I call outstanding!
The Michigan NORML volunteers also help keep the site clean by helping to pick up trash throughout the day. This event produces a lot of trash and it takes a lot of people to keep up with it.
Thank you to Michigan NORML for their years of vending, sponsorship, support and partnership with the Monroe Street Fair.

Dan Diamond
Whether behind the mic, turntables or in front of a camera, Dan's genuine talent and natural stage presence has proven to uplift any club, venue or screen. Born and raised in Taylor Michigan, Dan gravitated towards the local music scene fueled by the neighboring historic music mecca of downtown Detroit. Starting as a DJ, Dan took advantage of the freedom of controlling the mic as well as the turntables. Soon after, his MC skills caught the ear of renowned Detroit producer Mike E.
