About Flushing
Located just a short distance northwest of Flint and only moments from the 1-75/23 corridor allows the people of Flushing to enjoy the advantages of a metropolitan area, while residing in a small town atmosphere.
A spruced-up downtown, a healthy variety of commercial and service establishments, and a growing number of businesses of all kinds on the Pierson Road corridor, help make up the expanding community of Flushing.
Scattered throughout the community are eight parks offering year-round activities for the entire family. Riverview Park hosts the free Concerts in the Park summer series, Movies in the Park, the annual Art in the Park, and also houses Tucker Pool and a pavilion for family and organization get-togethers.
One of the highlights of summer in Flushing is the fabulous community Flushing Summer Festival held in June. A fifties theme is carried throughout the festival. Flushing, known as the Cruise Capital of Michigan, hosts gatherings of 1972 and older automobiles every third Saturday of each month during the summer.
Each fall, the Flushing Area Chamber of Commerce and local merchants host the Harvest Festival. Local Merchants and the downtown area provide food, entertainment and fun family activities.
Flushing's annual Candlewalk is held in December. The event features many talented performers on the streets in the downtown area. Merchants offer free refreshments and warm-up stations as a "Thank You" to the community for their support. Approximately 10,000 candles line Main Street and the whole town "Decks the Halls" for a beautiful display.
