The Champions parade is a major part of Juneteenth and will begin at City Hall at noon, Saturday 19th,  and will end at Berston Field house. This parade will celebrate Flint's top athlete Clarissa Shields and is well overdue. This upcoming Juneteenth weekend is shaping up to be the biggest event in Flint this year, or probably in years!

Mayor Sheldon Neeley has committed to making sure this event makes waves and will set a tone for the city of Flint moving forward. Expect to hear from the event organizers soon as we will be pulling each one in for an interview on Club 93.7 to speak on the importance of Juneteenth and how this event will help shape things for Flint's future.
