Flint fireworks rescheduled for Aug. 18 during Back to the Bricks

The City of Flint is partnering with the Flint Downtown Development Authority to present fireworks during Back to the Bricks on Friday, August 18. The fireworks are made possible with support from the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation. Fireworks will launch at dusk, around 9:30 p.m. from Chevy Commons and will be visible throughout the downtown area.

Fireworks were originally scheduled for the Independence Day holiday, but were postponed due to inclement weather and potential impacts to air quality.

The Back to the Bricks weekend was chosen because security measures have already been planned for this date to ensure a safe, family-friendly community event.

"I want to thank our great partners for coming together to bring a second fireworks display to our community this summer," Flint Mayor Sheldon Neeley said. "Positive, family-friendly activities like these are important opportunities to unite our community, encourage fellowship among residents, and create a sense of pride in our great city."
