After careful consultation with the Executive Committee regarding the health and safety of their guests, collector car owners, volunteers and vendors – the difficult decision was made to cancel the 16th Annual Back To The Bricks Events, scheduled for August 3 –15, 2020. Organizers earlier announced the cancellation of all downtown Flint events, but extended this to include the entire Tune-Up Week and festival week.
Following increased and overwhelming concerns about the COVID-19 virus, organizers felt this was the best way to proceed during such an unprecedented global situation.
“We are very disappointed that we are unable to hold this event for our fans, sponsors and supporters, but we know it’s the right decision based on the information we have today,” they said in a statement.
“We greatly appreciate all our generous sponsors and partners, our amazing dedicated volunteers that make our events happen and the loyal car enthusiasts for your continued support,” the statement continues. “We tried to do everything we could to continue our traditions, but as we navigated through the planning and follow the executive orders that are currently in place, it’s just not possible. “
Organizers said they communicated with all their sponsors and partners, our volunteers and vendors.
“We are already planning on 2021 and how we can come back bigger and better than ever,” they said in the statement
