Organizers have released more details about the upcoming Motor City Roots Festival, a cannabis and music event planned for Saturday, July 29 at Detroit’s Russell Industrial Center.
The event includes performances by Detroit rappers Babytron and Babyface Ray, a cannabis industry awards show, and “The Weedbar,” a live podcast that will engage attendees with a sprawling conversation about the cannabis and music industries.
