Smoke on the Water '23: Michigan Meets STIIIZY
Manistee, Michigan—a quiet town known for its stunning Lake Michigan views, took center stage this past July 29th. The reason? None other than the epic Smoke on the Water 2023 Music and Cannabis Festival, hosted at the iconic Lions Pavilion.
When 4 pm rolled around, the grounds were already alive. Attendees from the previous year were back with their friends, stories of the last event fresh on their lips, and eyes full of excitement for what the evening held. Lake Michigan, with its rhythmic waves, provided a mesmerizing backdrop to the escalating festivities.
This wasn't just any event. STIIIZY was showcasing our freshest release: live rosin concentrates and live resin pods. The turnout? Astounding! Eager fans formed lines, waiting for their turn at our 'dab bar'. And let's not forget the sight of them taking puffs from the larger-than-life, giant STIIIZY. It's one of those sights you had to see to believe.
As the evening shades painted the skies, the musical crescendo reached its peak with Afroman belting out his iconic tracks. "Because I Got High" and "Crazy Rap" weren't just songs that night; they were anthems. Fans lit up their STIIIZY 40's, singing and swaying, creating an atmosphere that was nothing short of magical.
However, it wasn’t just the music or the cannabis that set this festival apart. It was its significance. This edition didn't just mark its second year; it symbolized a bold step for Michigan's cannabis culture. It celebrated the brave initiative of holding such a grand cannabis fest on municipal property—a first of its kind. And, the dual allowance of marijuana and alcohol? Talk about breaking barriers!
Come midnight, as the festival lights started dimming and the last notes of music faded, one thing was certain: Smoke on the Water had not just lived up to its legacy but elevated it. It wasn’t just a festival; it was an experience, a chronicle of how a quiet town in Michigan became the epicenter of a cannabis revolution, all with STIIIZY leading the charge.
