Presented by Communities First, Inc. and Friends of the Alley, this free, all-day festival celebrated summertime with a variety of exciting local musical talent and food in one of the city’s most vibrant urban spaces.
One of Flint’s biggest annual summer events, the main attraction is musical entertainment – this year featuring 16 bands performing on two stages sponsored by Square and the Greater Flint Arts Council. A diverse array of over 50 vendors lining the alley added to the lively atmosphere offering food, clothing, jewelry, art, books and much more.
Friends of the Alley raises funds for the event throughout the year and the group installs and pays for the lights in the alley. The nonprofit organization’s mission is to beautify and activate Downtown Flint’s alleys by creating inviting, inclusive and pedestrian-friendly spaces.
