Back to the Bricks is a car show held annually in Genesee County, Michigan.
The five-day event is structured with the first day having a Kick off party and "Brick Flick" automotive movie seen at the US 23 Drive-in Theatre, at least two days of Rolling Cruise, a Friday night car show & Cruise N Concert and wrapping it up on Saturday with a HUGE car show in downtown Flint. Additional, there is a Automotive Pioneers Statue plaza located in Downtown Flint.
Back to the Bricks has expanded beyond the events in downtown Flint and Saginaw Street to add other supplementary events: two Satellite cruises, a Promo Tour and the county Tune Ups. Back to the Bricks is a part of Autopalooza August and one of the Flint Parade of Festivals. The event has also inspired the names for other events in the City of Flint like Fish On The Bricks (since 2004), Bikes on the Bricks (since 2007), and Tractors on the Bricks (2017).
