Bring your inner tube, paddle board, kayak, canoe, or anything that floats (plus a life jacket!) and join us on this relaxing and fun journey down the Flint River from Tenacity Brewing to the Mott Park Recreation Area. The float will take about 2 hours.
Stay for the after party, at the Mott Park landing featuring music, Flotilla prizes, food trucks, photo ops, and more!
