festivals and events
Juneteenth
During the summertime Flint hosts a series of lively festivals and events, usually centered downtown or at the Cultural Center. These are included, but not limited to, Juneteenth, The Flint Art Festival, Flint 4th of July Celebration, The Flint Storytellers Festival, Quilts at the Crossroads, The Flint Gallery Walk, The Flint Jazz Festival, and the internationally famed Bobby Crim Festival of Races and more. For a real dose of the city, any and all of these festivals are a great time to visit, because this is when the locals come out to play.
