The festival was initiated and organized by Yippie and cannabis activist Ben Masel, and was held for fourteen years despite repeated incidents of attempted police interference.

Masel was a well-known cannabis activist. He ran for political office many times, including against Wisconsin incumbent governors and U.S. senators. He died in 2011.
