About Camp Cannabis
Camp Cannabis is the first ever cannabis-friendly event in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and will take place at Tourist Park Campground. The goal of Camp Cannabis is to lessen the stigma around cannabis consumption through the form of education and relaxation.
The event will include two stages for regional and national performers. Attendees will be able to camp at Tourist Park or purchase weekend passes and come and go as they please. Throughout the park, different areas will be set up for music, fun activities, and educational aspects. There will also be cannabis and local vendors selling food and artwork.
