The on-the-water Flotilla is canceled this year due uncertainties following the June 15th chemical spill. But we want to celebrate our dedicated supporters, volunteers, and staff. So we’re throwing you a party. Not on the river, but next to it, at Tenacity Brewing.

We hope you’ll join us on the traditional Flotilla date, Saturday, August 6th, for our 2022 Flotilla Pirate Fest at Tenacity Brewing, and enjoy live entertainment, food and drinks for purchase, a costume contest, treasure hunt for the kids, sprinklers and water toys, and more.

There will be no on-the-water event this year because our river has been injured, but we hope we can celebrate our Flint River community and continue to spread the word about the importance of protecting the waters that belong to us all.

Justin Scanlon & Valentine Streets performing live on the outdoor truck stage at Totem Books!

Bring a lawn chair and enjoy a free music show, and take some time to browse our outdoor dollar books & music sale!

Movies Under the Stars is back in Flint! Our pre-movie party starts at 7:00 PM with free games, activities and snacks. Then at dusk, we'll be watching "The Princess and the Frog" on our 30 foot screen.

Get comfortable by bringing a blanket or lawn chair! Registration is encouraged at: https://cfi.ticketleap.com/flintmuts22/

About the Princess and the Frog

A prince is transformed into a frog and accidentally curses a beautiful princess with an amphibian form as well when he kisses her in an attempt to break the spell. The two then go a wild journey through the bayous of Louisiana in hopes of finding a voodoo priestess who may be able to restore their true forms.

Thank you to our sponsors HAP, Genesee Health System, Mott Community College, the Hurand Family, the Nartel Family Foundation, and Molina Healthcare!

You are invited to join Vertical Ambition Dance Company in an exciting evening of dance, as they perform various works from across their history as a company. This concert includes a look behind the curtain, with the inspiration behind and the creation process of several pieces being discussed.

Special Guest performances by Amanda Fabry and Claire Little of Contexture Dance and FLI-City Studios' Modern Dance Ensemble.

Tickets are $10 at the door.
