“As a community centered and culturally inspired organization, JARS is committed to celebrating the intersection of cannabis with lifestyle and culture by creating shared experiences that touch upon personal passion points,” explains JARS Cannabis Marketing Director, Stefanie Michels. “There is a longstanding, synergistic relationship that exists amongst cannabis and music, and we are eager to be presented with such an extraordinary opportunity to honor the two, as Movement’s first-ever cannabis retail sponsor.”
Located near the main entrance on Jefferson Ave. and directly across from the Food Court and Detroit Stage presented by JARS, the cannabis retailer will simultaneously debut its new 360-degree, immersive, pop-up experience, JARS Campus. Boldly embracing stoner stereotypes through the depiction of high-contrast, graffiti-inspired line drawings, JARS Campus comes to life as an edgy, Instagrammable oasis of immersive art installations, curated to elicit cannabis-infused conversations amongst festival goers while imposing disruption on mainstream culture and expression.
Open to all Movement ticket holders, the experiential, JARS Campus pop-up tent will immerse festival attendees in a variety of cannabis-themed art activities and installations, inspire them to capture and share post-worthy content, and offer limited-edition JARS Collection streetwear apparel and accessories that will be available for purchase while supplies last, only at Movement. Aiming to engage and connect with potential new customers in a digitally driven world, JARS will demonstrate its innovative click-and-mortar retail approach at the dance music festival by integrating a strategically curated QR code into its unique JARS Campus activation, leading festival goers aged 21+ to discover a seamless and contactless e-commerce shopping experience on the cannabis retailer’s website.
