The center of Hash Bash is the Diag — the diagonal walkway and open space at the heart of the University of Michigan campus. It's bounded by State Street, North University Avenue, South University Avenue, and Ingalls Street.
This simplified map shows the Diag highlighted in green and three nearby parking structures (Maynard St Structure, Liberty Sq / State St, and Forest Ave) with dotted walking routes to campus.
