JARS Cannabis Expands Live Music Partnership with New Presence at Pine Knob and Michigan Lottery Amphitheatre

DETROIT, July 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Michigan-based cannabis retailer JARS Cannabis is turning up the volume on concert season this summer through its expanded partnership with 313 Presents, bringing a bold brand presence to two of Metro Detroit's most iconic music venues, Pine Knob Music Theatre and Michigan Lottery Amphitheatre at Freedom Hill.

The move reflects a growing trend of cannabis brands engaging with mainstream spaces, offering fans new ways to connect with local brands during the live events and cultural moments that define summer in Michigan.

At Pine Knob, JARS is reintroducing a dedicated on-site space as The Block by JARS — a retail-style, branded area near the UWM West Entrance where fans ages 21 and older can shop JARS-branded merchandise and learn more about the products available at JARS' 30 Michigan retail locations. Open all season long, The Block by JARS offers a lifestyle-focused brand experience beyond the traditional retail setting. The surrounding open-air deck, operated by the venue, serves as a communal beer garden and gathering space where guests can enjoy food and beverages before and during the show. In compliance with venue and state regulations, cannabis sales and consumption are strictly prohibited on site.

"Pine Knob and Michigan Lottery Amphitheatre are summer destinations for people across Michigan. We see this as an opportunity to be more than a retailer and be part of the experiences that bring people back year after year," said Raymond Abro, COO at JARS Cannabis.

The sentiment is shared by 313 Presents, who see the partnership as a chance to enhance the fan experience.

"We are excited to expand our partnership with JARS Cannabis by welcoming them to Pine Knob Music Theatre and increasing their visibility at Michigan Lottery Amphitheatre," said Howard Handler, President of 313 Presents. "This is an innovative collaboration which will provide our guests with a unique opportunity to learn more about the lifestyle and its brand."

JARS is also building on its presence at Michigan Lottery Amphitheatre, now in the second year of a three-year partnership. The venue's general admission lawn has been renamed the JARS Lawn, offering high-impact brand visibility throughout the season. Additionally, fans ages 21 and older can visit the JARS-branded pop-up tent on the main concourse for swag giveaways and coupons redeemable at any JARS Michigan location.

"This isn't about just showing up with a logo. It's about building real connections in the places our customers already go and giving them a new way to engage with the JARS brand," added Abro.

Beyond signage alone, the partnership brings JARS into high-traffic fan areas at both venues, including entry points, walkways, and stage-adjacent zones, as part of a larger effort to connect with Michigan audiences in cultural spaces they already love. New this year at Michigan Lottery Amphitheatre, fans will also encounter custom interactive signage co-created by JARS, NYDAC, and Throwing Star Collective, featuring speaker-inspired designs that celebrate the intersection of music, cannabis, and culture.
