Beloved Chefs Return to Celebrate Downtown Flint’s All-Ages Anchor

Flint Local 432, returns with its culinary celebration, Mixdown. Originally presented as a sold out 30th Anniversary Party in 2015, the event returns by popular demand as annual affair.

The Facebook event already has more than 200 RSVPs and it is expected to sell out for the second year in a row. For ticketing information and chef and event announcements, visit the facebook event page.
