Flint, MI—Hands strumming the four strings of a bass guitar, paint brushes stroking canvas, the nostalgic clacking of typewriters, funnel cake dough sizzling in a deep fryer; these moments and more formed the vibrant atmosphere of the third annual Carriage Town PorchFest. The festival brought local musicians, artists and poets onto the porches of Flint’s historic Carriage Town neighborhood on July 15, 2022, drawing hundreds for the community’s third time hosting the PorchFest event series. See the festivities for yourself in the photos below.
