A big topic in Grand Traverse County right now is the future of our jail and justice system. County leaders have been holding public meetings at Garfield Township Hall, asking residents what they want to see in a proposed new jail and justice complex that could cost nearly 28 million dollars. If you missed those sessions, you still have a voice: there is an online survey open through May 29. You can find the link in the county coverage on the Traverse Ticker website. This is one of those long-term decisions that will shape public safety, mental health services, and tax bills for years, so it is worth a few minutes of your time. Speaking of mental health, the community-backed Mental Health Crisis Center on the Munson Medical Center campus has now been open for over a year and is already planning its next phase of expansion. The center, which was significantly funded with county ARPA dollars, is working on adding nine adult residential units. That means more local beds for people in crisis, fewer long drives to downstate facilities, and a better chance for families to keep loved ones close while they get help. Downtown, there is plenty of business buzz. Just a few doors down from their old location, one retailer on Front Street is celebrating a grand reopening on May 29 in a refreshed space. In the Warehouse Market, Artemis Books and Goods is moving from soft launch to full-on grand opening May 30, after slowly building out shelves and inventory since winter. It is a good weekend to discover a new local bookstore and maybe grab a coffee while you are there. If you are ready for summer views, the Social rooftop bar at Hotel Indigo is opening for the season, giving you those West Bay sunsets from above. Lamar’s waterfront patio bar is set to open May 22, expanding your options for drinks by the water as temperatures climb. Out by Logan’s Landing, Gardner White is moving into the former Value City Furniture space and opening its doors today, bringing a major Michigan furniture brand into the local retail mix. And for travelers, Cherry Country Cafe at Cherry Capital Airport has unveiled a newly renovated space, making those early-morning flights and late-night arrivals a bit more comfortable, with upgraded seating and a fresher look. Whether you are weighing in on the county’s future or just planning your next night out, there is a lot happening around Traverse City right now. This has been Traverse City Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.

It is a lively week around town, with a mix of public planning, fresh openings, and a lot of signs that summer is starting to show up in real time. One of the biggest conversations continues to be the county’s work on a new jail and justice complex. Community feedback sessions have been underway, and there is still an online survey open through May 29 for anyone who wants to weigh in. That matters because this is one of those projects that will shape county services for years, affecting everything from safety and operations to where taxpayer dollars go and how future facilities are built. The county also got updates this week from the Mental Health Crisis Center and the treasurer’s office. The crisis center, now open for more than a year over on the Munson campus, is moving into its next phase of expansion. The plan includes adding nine adult residential units, which could make a real difference for people who need short term help and a more stable path toward care. That kind of growth is a reminder that the region is still working hard to build support systems alongside its housing and justice planning. Downtown, the energy is shifting toward the summer season. Evil Queen is celebrating a grand reopening on Front Street May 29 in its new home in the former Queen Bee Limited space, with the hope that the move brings better visibility and more foot traffic. Nearby, Sanctuary Goods in the Commons is also getting ready to open, adding a new gift and jewelry shopping option to the downtown mix. If you are looking for a place to celebrate the warmer weather, Hotel Indigo’s social rooftop bar opens this Friday at 3, and Lamar is set to open its waterfront patio bar May 22. That means the seasonal ritual of patios, views, and sunset drinks is officially underway. Over at the market, one restaurant is opening this weekend for lunch, with weekend hours now set and more frequent service coming soon. The Hammered Heifer is also opening today, adding another fresh stop for food and drinks. There is also movement at the retail edge of town, where Gardner White is opening May 21 in the former Value City furniture space near Logan’s Landing. And Cherry Capital Airport has unveiled a newly renovated area, a welcome update for travelers as the summer travel rush begins. It is the kind of morning that says Traverse City is not just preparing for summer, it is actively opening the doors. This has been Traverse City Local Frequency.

On the community planning front, Traverse City residents continue to have their voices heard. The city has been gathering public comments on the new parks master plan, giving neighbors a chance to weigh in on what they'd like to see for the future of our local parks and recreational spaces. If you haven't shared your input yet, now's the time to make sure your vision for Traverse City's outdoor spaces is part of the conversation. Downtown Traverse City is seeing some significant real estate movement. Several high-profile properties are now on the market, including the former Union Street Station and the old Front Row building. These major downtown locations being available could signal some interesting changes ahead for our community's heart. Whether it's new businesses, new development, or revitalized spaces, this could reshape what downtown looks like in the coming months and years. As always, if you're looking for things to do, Traverse City has no shortage of events and activities. From live music venues to winery tours and our famous annual festivals, there's something happening practically every weekend.

Michigan has been dealing with persistent flood threats following days of heavy rain combined with rapid snowmelt. Governor Whitmer declared a state of emergency for Cheboygan County due to rising waters and concerns about the dam complex. Water levels in rivers throughout Michigan and Wisconsin continue to exceed their average limits, and officials expect the flood threat to persist over the next several days. If you're planning outdoor activities near water, please stay safe and heed all local warnings about debris in waterways. In other local news, Grand Traverse County saw an unusual incident earlier this month when a traffic dispute escalated into a serious assault.

Folks, what a wild week its been with that flooding shaking up our shores and streets. Yesterday, the Beitner Bridge collapsed under the surging Boardman River, cutting off a key route to Chums Corner and leaving drivers rerouting through downtown chaos. Aerial views show debris pouring into Grand Traverse Bay, but good news: water levels are dropping at spots like Logans Landing and the South YMCA, letting cleanup crews get to work and reopening paths for your Sunday drives. Stay cautious out there, as those high waters remind us how fragile our bayfront can be, impacting everything from commutes to local fishing plans. Shifting to brighter skies, expect partly cloudy conditions today with highs in the 60s and some breezy winds that could kick up on the water later. Perfect setup for getting outdoors amid our spring vibe. Speaking of which, a local nonprofit is sounding alarms on troubled waters ahead for the Great Lakes, spotlighting federal policy shifts under the Trump Administration that could ripple right back to our bays and beaches, urging us all to stay engaged on environmental protections that safeguard our livelihoods and recreation. Now, lets talk fun because Traverse City is buzzing with events to shake off the flood blues. Kick off at 9 AM with the Traverse City Curling Clubs Cherry Bombspiel semis, free entry to cheer teams from across the country and Canada on the ice. History buffs, head to the Dennos Museum Centers Trilobite Treasures exhibit at 11 AM, ongoing through May, weaving tales of ancient Paleozoic sea creatures that spark wonder about our fossil-rich region. Noon brings the Ides of March Shakespeare festival to the Village at Grand Traverse Commons, free roaming performances from 1 to 5 PM that turn our historic grounds into a lively stage. Sports fans, catch Formula 1 free watch parties for the Saudi Arabia Grand Prix at 1 PM in Suttons Bay at the Bay Community Theatre. Curling enthusiasts might double-dip there too. Dont miss the Traverse Area Historical Societys talk this evening with speaker Marty MacLeod diving into our regions past. And tomorrow marks Earth Day, so gear up for the Second Annual Community Clothing Swap to refresh your closet sustainably. Theres always something brewing here, from spring wine tours to nature outings, keeping our community connected and resilient. This has been Traverse City Local Frequency.

We're starting this weekend with important safety reminders as water levels continue to recede across the Grand Traverse Region following recent flooding. While conditions are improving, county officials are urging residents and visitors to remain cautious. Many roads around the region still remain closed, and officials are warning that more rain is anticipated. Remember, just a few inches of standing water can stall a vehicle or sweep it away, so please turn around and don't drown by avoiding flooded roadways. If you're heading out today, allow extra travel time and stick to known open routes. On the municipal front, city commissioners will be voting Monday to approve a contract with Grand River Construction for up to 947,265 dollars in bridge and sidewalk work. This investment in our infrastructure comes as the region continues recovery efforts from the recent flooding. But there's plenty to do around town this weekend despite the weather challenges. If you're looking for some laughs, the TC Comedy Fest is wrapping up today with performances across seven venues featuring headliners Gary Gulman, Roy Wood Jr., Meg Stalter, Sarah Sherman, and Joe DeVito. For families and culture enthusiasts, the Dennos Museum Center is showcasing Trilobite Treasures, an exhibit that brings Paleozoic creatures to life through storytelling. It runs through May 31st and kicks off at 11 AM today. Music lovers have options too. The Traverse Area District Library is hosting a Schoolhouse Rock Singalong at 11 AM in the McGuire Community Room, and there's also The 1st Michigan Colored Regiment presentation at 4 PM in the same venue. Both are free community events. Over at the Village at Grand Traverse Commons, the Indoor Farmers Market is open from 10 AM to 2 PM, featuring more than 30 vendors. The market runs every Saturday through April, so this is a great opportunity to stock up on local goods. If theater is more your speed, Elk Rapids Players are presenting Acting Can Be Murder, a production about a community theater troupe where off-stage drama turns deadly. And the 31st Annual McLaren Children's Health Fair is happening today with a superhero fun run, petting zoo, free health screenings, and hands-on activities for kids and families.

Folks, if youve been out and about this week, you know Mother Nature has been testing our resilience with that relentless spring flooding from the Boardman River overflow. Downtown areas saw some scary moments as waters rose, and just Tuesday, the bridge on Beitner Road collapsed under the pressure, cutting off access and likely keeping that vital route closed for six months or more while crews rebuild. South Airport could face up to another week of disruptions too, so if youre heading that way for flights or errands, double-check routes and stay safe on the roads. UpNorthLive reports conditions are still worsening in spots around Northern Michigan, with evacuation centers ready near Bellaire Dam if things escalate—better to pack a go-bag just in case. This flooding isnt just headlines; its real impacts like delayed deliveries, flooded basements, and families rerouting daily commutes, but our communitys pulling together with sandbags and neighborly help. On a brighter note, shake off the gloom with some laughs tonight—the Traverse City Comedy Fest kicks off at the Comedy Club, promising a lineup of hilarious acts to get everyone through April 16 with a smile. Its the perfect antidote to rainy days, connecting us through shared chuckles and maybe even spotlighting local talent. If youre up for networking instead, head to Bellaire this evening for Business After Hours at the ASI Community Center from 5:30 to 7, a great spot to mingle, sip, and build those Northern Michigan connections that keep our economy buzzing. Weather-wise, shake out that umbrella: a Dense Fog Advisory lingers until morning, with patchy fog sticking around into the afternoon under north winds at 10 to 15 knots. Showers and a slight thunderstorm chance early, but clearing skies later could make for smoother boating on Lake Michigan as waves build to 1 to 3 feet. Looking ahead, breezy southerlies Friday bring bigger waves up to 8 feet, so boaters plan accordingly. Beyond the floods, keep eyes on those winery tours and live music spots that make Traverse City sparkle year-round—festivals and races are ramping up soon. Stay vigilant, support local recovery efforts, and lets turn this watery week into weekend wins. This has been Traverse City Local Frequency. Well see you tomorrow with more local updates.

Folks, we’re waking up to some serious water woes after yesterday’s heavy rains hammered northern Michigan. The Boardman River has spilled over its banks near Mayfield, turning low-lying spots into makeshift lakes and forcing folks to rethink their morning commutes. Over in Grand Traverse County, evacuations are underway along East River Road as rising waters threaten homes and roads—workers are hustling to stack massive super sacks of sand and install 24-inch pipes to reroute the flow around a strained dam. It’s a stark reminder of how quickly our cherry capital’s rivers can swell, impacting everything from local farms to family driveways, so if you’re near those areas, stay tuned to alerts and avoid flood zones. Nearby in Emmet County, the Bear River jumped its banks onto roadways in Petoskey, with sandbag crews on high alert to keep the damage contained[1][4]. Mother Nature’s not letting up either—severe weather risks linger today with potential for tornadoes, damaging winds, and hail across parts of the region, following last night’s stormy barrage in West Michigan. Keep an eye on the skies, secure those outdoor setups, and have a plan if things kick up, as these systems could disrupt power and travel right here in Traverse City[2][5][8][15]. But hey, it’s not all clouds—plenty of ways to shake off the damp today. Head to Oryana Community Co-op this evening for their General Ownership Meeting, a great chance to connect with neighbors over local food vibes and community chats. Music lovers, check out the buzzing live scene at spots like The Grand Traverse Commons, Kilkenny’s, or Encore 201, where fresh gigs are popping up nightly to warm your spirits. Tomorrow, Thursday the 16th, swing by the ASI Community Center in Bellaire for Business After Hours from 5:30 to 7 PM—network, nosh, and support our up-north entrepreneurs just a short drive away[3][9][11]. Cherry trees are budding strong despite the wet, and with warmer days ahead, it’s prime time for winery tours or a stroll through the Botanic Garden at Historic Barns Park. Stay safe out there, Traverse City—our resilient community always bounces back stronger. This has been Traverse City Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.

It’s a stark reminder of how quickly our cherry capital’s rivers can swell, impacting everything from local farms to family driveways, so if you’re near those areas, stay tuned to alerts and avoid flood zones. Nearby in Emmet County, the Bear River jumped its banks onto roadways in Petoskey, with sandbag crews on high alert to keep the damage contained[1][4]. Mother Nature’s not letting up either—severe weather risks linger today with potential for tornadoes, damaging winds, and hail across parts of the region, following last night’s stormy barrage in West Michigan. Keep an eye on the skies, secure those outdoor setups, and have a plan if things kick up, as these systems could disrupt power and travel right here in Traverse City[2][5][8][15]. But hey, it’s not all clouds—plenty of ways to shake off the damp today. Head to Oryana Community Co-op this evening for their General Ownership Meeting, a great chance to connect with neighbors over local food vibes and community chats. Music lovers, check out the buzzing live scene at spots like The Grand Traverse Commons, Kilkenny’s, or Encore 201, where fresh gigs are popping up nightly to warm your spirits. Tomorrow, Thursday the 16th, swing by the ASI Community Center in Bellaire for Business After Hours from 5:30 to 7 PM—network, nosh, and support our up-north entrepreneurs just a short drive away[3][9][11]. Cherry trees are budding strong despite the wet, and with warmer days ahead, it’s prime time for winery tours or a stroll through the Botanic Garden at Historic Barns Park. Stay safe out there, Traverse City—our resilient community always bounces back stronger. This has been Traverse City Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.

Rise and shine, Traverse City folks, its a breezy start to the week with warm temps pushing into the mid 70s this afternoon after some overnight rain clears out. Southeast Michigan, including us up here, sits under a marginal risk for severe weather today, so keep an eye on those skies for possible thunderstorms tonight into Tuesday, when things ramp up to a slight risk. Winds from the southwest will gust up to 30 miles per hour, making it feel even more springlike, but plan your outdoor errands accordingly to dodge any pop-up showers. After a gorgeous 80-degree Sunday, Mother Nature is keeping us on our toes, but that means fresh air for walks along the bay. Speaking of getting around, detour season has officially kicked off with US-31 reconstruction beginning in Interlochen. Expect lane closures and reroutes that could add 10 to 20 minutes to your commute south of town, so locals heading that way for work or shopping, fire up your GPS and leave a little early. This multi-million-dollar project aims to smooth out potholes and boost safety for the long haul, but it means patience now pays off in safer roads later. Real-world tip: combine your detour with a stop at a roadside cherry stand if youre craving that early-season flavor. Downtown buzz is heating up too, as city leaders weigh a 30-year extension of funding for our vibrant core, potentially heading to voters soon. Picture continued street fairs, bustling shops, and those twinkling holiday lights without a funding hiccup, keeping Traverse City the heart of northern Michigan. Meanwhile, tax increment financing discussions are dominating meetings between city and county officials this week, shaping how we invest in growth from new parks to business hubs. These decisions ripple straight to your wallet and neighborhood, ensuring our tax dollars fuel projects that make life here even better. For things to do, swing by the Traverse Area District Library this afternoon for the Great Decisions makeup session from 1 to 3:15, diving into global affairs with smart conversation over coffee. Foodies, mark your calendars for Oryanas mozzarella-making class on April 9, or their general ownership meeting on the 15th at Hagerty Center. And dont miss electronic waste recycling events on the 18th and 19th perfect for clearing out old gadgets responsibly. With tours and exhibits popping up across town, from historic walks to artsy displays, theres no excuse to stay inside on these warming days. This has been Traverse City Local Frequency.

We're starting off this Sunday with some relief after an absolutely intense weather pattern this past week. If you were paying attention to what happened across the broader region on Thursday and Friday, you saw record-breaking March heat that pushed temperatures to all-time highs for this time of year. Cities from Salinas all the way up through the Bay Area were shattering records, with some places hitting temperatures they'd never seen before in the month of March. The good news for us here in Traverse City is that we're already seeing that pattern cool down significantly as we move into this week. Today we're looking at daytime highs that are still above average for this time of year, but nothing like what we saw just two days ago. Some areas are dropping as much as twenty degrees from Friday's peak, and that cooling trend is going to continue through tomorrow. The difference really comes down to proximity to the coast and how much of that onshore influence we're getting. Coastal areas got significant relief yesterday, while inland microclimates are still working through some residual warmth. By tomorrow, we should see even more improvement across the board, with temperatures settling back into more seasonal patterns. Looking ahead through the end of March, we're tracking a pretty persistent high pressure system that's going to keep us generally dry. That means no significant rainfall in the immediate forecast, so if you've got outdoor plans, you're in decent shape. The pattern is expected to remain dominated by this high pressure, which will keep our daytime highs above average but nothing like what we experienced earlier this week. For those of you planning activities around Traverse City this week, it's a great opportunity to get outside and enjoy the milder weather we're expecting. Whether you're heading to the waterfront, exploring our downtown shops and restaurants, or taking advantage of our trails and natural areas, conditions should be favorable. Just keep an eye on any updates as we move through the week, because weather patterns can shift, and we'll keep you posted on any significant changes. This has been Traverse City Local Frequency.

We're starting the week with some significant disruptions across our community. Widespread closures have been announced today affecting schools, government offices, and local businesses throughout northern Michigan. Residents should check with their employers and schools for specific details about operations today, as this appears to be a coordinated closure across multiple sectors in our region. Despite the closures, there's still plenty of cultural activity happening in Traverse City this week. The Alluvion Arts organization is presenting an exciting new exhibition called We Will Not Whisper, featuring the work of nineteen female visual artists. This collection offers a powerful collaborative response to the ongoing erosion of civil rights and freedoms. It's a meaningful opportunity to engage with art that speaks to important contemporary issues, and it's the kind of community-driven cultural event that makes our city vibrant. Over at Willow Hill Elementary School, families are encouraged to check out this week's news and updates. The school community continues to keep everyone informed about activities and announcements, so parents should take a look at the latest information for the week ahead. As we navigate today's closures, it's a good reminder to stay connected with local news and announcements. Whether you're working from home, spending time with family, or exploring some of our cultural offerings like the We Will Not Whisper exhibition, there's still plenty happening in our community. Make sure to reach out to your workplace and schools to confirm their status and any changes to regular schedules.

Rons widow Mary and sons shared raw stories of lost laughs, future weddings, and adventures cut short, reminding us all how one preventable choice shatters lives.

Also on view are shows like Dewey Blocksma: Roundtable, featuring whimsical figures that blur the line between real and imagined, along with additional print and sculpture exhibitions that turn the museum into a winter culture hub. Foodies have a reason to venture out tonight as well. As part of the broader Traverse City Uncorked experiences, a Kitchen Takeover called Umbo is Coming brings a special pop up menu to town starting this evening and continuing tomorrow, giving diners a chance to try limited time dishes and local wine pairings in an intimate setting. In downtown news, the Downtown Traverse City Association is gearing up for a new Community Canvas art crawl, a self guided celebration of murals and public art that aims to draw more foot traffic into the city core and highlight local creatives, with details emerging this week on routes and participating businesses. On the civic front, local leaders around East Bay are sharpening priorities for a new tax increment financing plan, a tool that could help pay for infrastructure, trails, and water quality projects along the shoreline, potentially reshaping how the township grows in the coming decade. And as the year winds down, Interlochen Public Radio is reflecting on a transformative 2025, one that saw the classical service lose its federal funding but become fully community supported, thanks to record setting local donations that are keeping children’s programming and live music events alive for listeners across the Traverse City area.

Winter is in full swing across Grand Traverse County, and while much of Michigan is under the thumb of a powerful winter storm system today, local officials are urging extra caution on the roads as high winds and bursts of lake effect snow move through the region.

As the sun comes up over Grand Traverse Bay, downtown Traverse City is buzzing with talk about a new proposal to revive that long delayed parking deck project at West Front and State. A developer has stepped forward offering to partner with the city and the Downtown Development Authority to finally get the structure built, along with possible mixed use space. City leaders say the big questions now are cost, design, and how much of the site should be reserved for housing and retail. For anyone who has circled downtown on a busy weekend or during film fest season, the outcome of this debate will shape how easy it is to live, work, and play downtown for years to come. Across the region, public safety is also in focus. Regional authorities continue searching for two missing snowmobilers in Mason County after they disappeared Saturday night near Sheridan Township. The search has drawn in multiple sheriff’s departments, Michigan State Police, and local fire crews. While that is outside Grand Traverse County, it is a reminder to riders here at home to check trails, travel in pairs, and keep a close eye on changing early season conditions. On a lighter note, the city is leaning into the long evenings as we head toward the winter solstice. Local astronomers and environmental groups are using the darker days to encourage residents to get outside, look up at the night sky, and be mindful of light pollution. For families, it is a good excuse for a hot cocoa walk, some backyard stargazing, and maybe an early night in. If you are looking for things to do today, food lovers might want to head toward the Kitchen Takeover featuring Hello Darlin by Oakwood, a pop up experience bringing a fresh menu into a local kitchen for a limited run. It is a chance to taste something new while supporting the local culinary scene. Meanwhile, with another blast of winter on the way, a Traverse City based home improvement expert is reminding homeowners to check windows, weatherstripping, and bathroom ventilation now to cut heating costs and avoid cold weather damage later. A little weekend project could mean a warmer, more efficient home by January. This has been Traverse City Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.

The tree lined streets are twinkling, shops are cozy, and local businesses are bracing for one of the busiest shopping weeks of the year as visitors arrive for ski season and last minute holiday trips.[1][3] If you are looking for art and culture today, you have options from breakfast to bedtime. The 2025 Small Works Holiday Exhibition is open this morning, showcasing bite sized two and three dimensional pieces ideal for gifting or starting a personal collection.[2][4] Over at Art on Union Gallery, Winter and the Blues invites you to sip seasonal drinks and nibble sweets while browsing work inspired by the quiet light of northern Michigan winters, a calm counterpoint to the shopping rush.[10] Several other exhibits across town and nearby campuses explore everything from mixed media painting to Arctic ice and water in the Ice Into Ocean: Arctic Tracings installation, connecting our own Great Lakes climate to polar change.[2][11] For families, late morning brings Christmas in the Village, with visits with Santa, kids crafts, and performances by the TC West Orchestra, turning a simple outing into a full holiday memory.[2] This afternoon, the Traverse Area District Library hosts Free Family Fun Day, where kids can make pinecone owls and nature based crafts at no cost, and holiday music from TCAPS Choral Aires and the Cherry Capital Men’s Chorus fills the McGuire Community Room with carols.[2][4] On stage, you can step straight into the classics. The Nutcracker continues its run, bringing the magic of Tchaikovsky and dancing snowflakes to northern Michigan audiences.[2][3][6] There is also a dramatic reading of A Christmas Carol at The Leelanau School, blending music, sing along moments, and Dickens’ timeless reminder to look out for neighbors in need.[2][13] After dark, New Hope Community Church hosts The Christmas Journey, a 45 minute outdoor walking tour through the woods with live actors and animals, retelling the Christmas story by lantern light and giving residents a reason to bundle up and be outside together.[2] Behind the scenes, local nonprofits are working hard as well. The Women’s Resource Center has launched a 3 million dollar capital campaign to expand and reimagine its transitional home for survivors, a project that could reshape how safe housing and support look for vulnerable women and children in the region for years to come.[7] Whether you spend today shopping small, singing along, or simply walking under the lights, the through line is community.

As the sun comes up over the bay, Traverse City is easing into a very artful, very wintry day. If you are looking to get a head start on holiday gifting, the Merry Marketplace Holiday Art Market at Crooked Tree Arts Center opens at 10 this morning, with hundreds of handmade pieces from artists around the state, a chance to keep your shopping dollars local and discover new Michigan makers in one stop. Over on the NMC campus, the Dennos Museum is a hub of creativity today. Beginning late morning, you can wander through Dewey Blocksma’s Roundtable, a whimsical, slightly surreal world of puzzle heads, violin women, fake computers, and porcupines, a reminder that serious art can still have a sense of play. Just down the hall, Ice Into Ocean: Arctic Tracings turns the gallery into a high-latitude landscape, using large scale drawings and installations to trace how ice and water reshape the Arctic over time, connecting our shoreline on Grand Traverse Bay to distant polar coasts. If you prefer your winter calm and cozy, the Art on Union Gallery’s Winter and the Blues exhibit opens at 11. You can sip something warm and sweet while taking in artwork that leans into the quiet light and stillness of northern Michigan winters, a nice reset in the middle of a busy week. Later today, Bonobo Winery on Old Mission is kicking off its Very Merry Holiday Pop-Up, transforming the tasting room into a twinkling, elf-approved holiday haven. Timed, seated experiences pair festive décor with themed wine and cocktail flights, family friendly mocktails, and bite-size “reindeer treats,” offering a new twist on the classic winter winery visit. On the civic side, all eyes are on Cherry Capital Airport, where the airport authority’s zoning board meets late this morning to hear a proposal for a new five-story hotel on airport property. The project is pitched as a way to give airline crews and stranded travelers a place to land close to the terminal and could reshape the feel of the South Airport corridor in the next few years if it moves forward. As evening winds down, you can roll out your mat at Original Hot Yoga TC for a free community yoga class at 7:30, an easy, low cost way to warm up, stretch out, and meet neighbors before calling it a night.

On the civic side, all eyes are on Cherry Capital Airport, where the airport authority’s zoning board meets late this morning to hear a proposal for a new five-story hotel on airport property.

As evening winds down, you can roll out your mat at Original Hot Yoga TC for a free community yoga class at 7:30, an easy, low cost way to warm up, stretch out, and meet neighbors before calling it a night.

It’s a crisp, perfect day for a walk under the changing leaves, and whether you’re downtown or venturing out to Leelanau, expect a pop of color around nearly every corner. Today is packed with things to do around town, starting off with a bit of inspiration from the Traverse Area District Library. Their Banned Books Poster display is up all day at the main branch, offering a walk through the history—and controversy—of books that have shaped our culture.

Families who want more than just a walk in the woods can check out events coming up this weekend, like the famous 5k Zombie Run, where runners dodge undead on their dash through town, and the Fall Family Festival at the YMCA, promising games, bounce houses, and pumpkins for kids. For the business-minded, SCORE Traverse City is hosting an online workshop today at 1 p.m., guiding entrepreneurs through creating a one-page business plan. If you’re dreaming of launching your own company or planning to fine-tune your strategy, grab a spot and get practical with your ideas. Wineries are celebrating harvest season up and down the Leelanau Peninsula Wine Trail, so if you’re ready to toast to fall, there’s no better time to sip what’s new and enjoy culinary pairings. As evening falls, Traverse City’s restaurants and taprooms are buzzing with fall flavors, live music, and the kind of cozy atmosphere that makes locals proud to call this place home.

The leaves are brilliant, the air is crisp, and Traverse City is buzzing with the energy that only October can bring. Let’s start the day with a stroll through the Sara Hardy Downtown Farmers Market. From 8 to noon, the parking lot at Cass and Grandview Parkway fills up with over 70 local vendors offering everything from apples and wildflowers to fresh bread and hot coffee. There’s nothing like the smell of cider and donuts to put you in the fall spirit, and today’s market features local musicians keeping things lively while you browse. For art lovers, there are so many ways to be inspired today. Katie Lowran’s luminous “Between the Leaves” solo show opens at Crooked Tree Arts Center’s Libragallery at 10, just in time to appreciate her nature-inspired works as the world outside turns golden and red. Not far away, Higher Art Gallery continues its “Light/House – Ruminations on the Storm” exhibit by Saul Gray-Hildenbrand, showcasing his curious and fantastically strange sculptures and textiles. Both exhibitions are sure to spark conversation and maybe a little wonder. If fiber art is more your speed, make time for “Textiles in Context” at 11 at the Oliver Art Center. And for a total burst of creativity, the Traverse Area Camera Club’s 2025 Award Winners photography exhibit is on display at the Carnegie Rotunda. Keen photographers can meet some of the creators at today’s artist talk. By midafternoon, make your way just south to Brownson Park for the Kingsley Farmers Market at 3. It’s their fall finale with over thirty vendors, food trucks, local produce, baked goods, and plenty of music to carry you through until dusk. Community gatherings are back in full swing this evening. At five, the much-anticipated Octoberfest Recess starts. This after-work event at one of Traverse City’s downtown venues is ideal for networking, socializing, and sampling a selection of local appetizers. If you’re running late, don’t stress – the energy will be high well into the evening. Hungry for comfort food and connection? The October Community Dinner kicks off at six with a “Soups and Chilis” theme. Bring your appetite and maybe a favorite ladle as locals gather for hearty dishes and honest conversation. And as night falls, wrap up the day at EXPAND Storytelling at seven in partnership with TC Design Week. Grab a seat as members of the community share their personal stories—funny, poignant, and powerful. For those ready for more fall celebrations, Frankfort Beer Week continues nearby, and pumpkin patches like Pahl’s in Buckley are open, showing off over a dozen pumpkin varieties—perfect for a weekend family outing.

It’s a colorful start to the last Monday in September here in Traverse City and across northern Michigan, as the first bursts of fall are lighting up the trees and making every walk or drive a little more spectacular. The local forecast calls for crisp, mild temperatures, so it’s a great day to get out and enjoy what makes early autumn in the Grand Traverse region so special. If you’re looking for cultural inspiration today, the local art scene is in full swing. The Glen Arbor Arts Center invites you to the exhibition HIStory / HERstory: Whose Story? which examines who gets to tell our histories and whose voices go unheard. With twenty-four exhibitors challenging who’s included and who’s erased, it’s a thought-provoking show running all day. Over at the Crooked Tree Arts Center, “Between the Leaves” by Katie Lowran offers a luminous solo exhibition perfect for anyone who finds art in autumn’s subtleties. Meanwhile, if you’re in the mood for something a bit edgy and out of the ordinary, Saul Gray-Hildenbrand’s “Light/House – Ruminations on the Storm” is on display at Higher Art Gallery, featuring strange and fascinating sculptures, paintings, and fiber wall hangings. Families with young kids might want to swing by the Traverse Area District Library at 10 am for Storytime with Miss Carrie, or check out the library’s lineup for book clubs, movies, and even a little Tai Chi to keep both your mind and body active this season. For the beer aficionados, the 12th Annual Frankfort Beer Week continues its celebration of Michigan’s craft brewing scene, with tastings and special events throughout the day just down the road in Frankfort—a highlight for locals and visitors alike. If you’re seeking community connection, there are opportunities to engage for a good cause. This afternoon at 4 pm, join experts for “Connect & Save a Life,” a safeTALK training session focused on raising awareness about mental health and suicide prevention, because being a good neighbor sometimes means just learning to listen and respond. On the sports scene, local schools have plenty of homecoming spirit and even more soccer action, as the Elk Rapids soccer team rides high after a late goal over Harbor Springs. In baseball, Tigers fans can celebrate after Detroit snapped an eight-game losing streak, pulling back into a tie for the AL Central lead. You may have noticed a bit more conversation than usual about coffee today—yes, it’s National Coffee Day, so wherever you get your morning fix, don’t forget to celebrate the cup that keeps us all going. Finally, a quick local update: All passengers are safe after a twin-engine NMC aviation plane made a rough landing at Cherry Capital Airport. There’s also good news from the Leelanau Conservancy, who reached their eight million dollar goal to restore the beloved Sugar Loaf recreational site, a big win for outdoor lovers across the region.

Traverse City is waking up to an energetic Thursday with plenty happening in the heart of downtown and beyond. Northwestern Michigan College continues to see record enrollment, welcoming over 200 new students this semester. That’s an 8 percent bump from last year, and the college is rolling out a fresh strategic plan to keep up with growth. If you have students in your life, expect even more buzz on campus as fall classes ramp up. Moving through downtown, folks are talking about the big road project on Griffin Street. Construction between Pine and S. Union Streets is underway, with the city aiming for completion by Halloween. It means detours and closed sidewalks, so keep an eye out and plan extra travel time in that neighborhood. The effort is all about smoother rides and improved water connections for residents. Now to public health: the Grand Traverse County Health Department reports a bat tested positive for rabies in a local home. Officials remind everyone to call animal control if you find a bat indoors and to keep pets’ rabies vaccinations up to date. Turning to local developments, Boardman Lake has been the source of some odors in recent weeks, but Sara Lee—the bakery on Lake Street—says normal operations should resume soon. Nearby residents and business owners can look forward to fresh air returning as the company promises solutions are on the way. Traverse City is still reacting to the shocking events of last Saturday at Walmart, where 11 people were injured in a stabbing. The Grand Traverse County Sheriff’s Office reports the suspect is in custody and all victims are being cared for at Munson Medical Center. The sheriff stressed these were random acts and praised a quick-thinking citizen for aiding in the arrest. The community continues to rally behind those affected, with local blood drives and support efforts underway. On a brighter note, this week marks Up North Pride Week, running through Saturday. Celebrate diversity all over town with events ranging from art walks and music to community talks. It’s a chance to show support and connect with neighbors. For those looking for things to do today, start your morning with the Great Lakes, Great Plants Symposium at the Botanic Garden at Historic Barns Park. In the afternoon, swing by 20Fathoms for a watch party and virtual talk focused on why startups fail and how local entrepreneurs are learning to adapt. Tonight, try the Adult Prom "Project Feed the Kids" charity at Park Place Hotel—dance the night away for a good cause. Art lovers can catch "Textiles in Context" today, a special event in the local creative community. If you’re feeling adventurous, gather your gear for the North Manitou Island members-only trip kicking off tonight—a weekend of hiking, swimming, and exploring awaits those This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Traverse City is waking up to a mix of sunshine and the fresh energy of fall. If you’re up early, the Sara Hardy Downtown Farmers Market is open today from 8 until noon in Parking Lot B, just off Cass Street and East Grandview Parkway. Local growers are out with those crisp apples, pumpkins, and late-season veggies, plus a few artisan treats to sweeten your stroll. It’s not just a place to pick up produce, but a spot to check in with neighbors and see what’s growing in the fields this week. For those curious about Traverse City’s past, at 10 o’clock, Perry Hannah Plaza is the starting point for the Guided Walking History Tour. It’s a gentle two-mile journey weaving through some of our most storied neighborhoods, touching on waterfront tales and the elegant old homes that mark the city’s evolution. Whether you’re a local or visitor, it’s a chance to see Traverse City in a new light, right down to the cobblestones and quiet breezes off the bay. Music fans have several choices tonight. Local venues across Traverse City—wineries, breweries, and coffee shops—are hosting live acts throughout the evening. For larger performances, the Interlochen Center for the Arts is spotlighting baritone Matt Worth at 6:15 this evening, bringing national-level talent to our own backyard. The City Opera House and Dennos Museum Center also promise music in intimate settings, so there’s something for every style[2][10]. Many residents are still talking about Monday’s storms, with the National Weather Service confirming three tornadoes across Northern Michigan—one in Grand Traverse County. That local tornado was brief, classified as EF-U with no reported damage, but still a vivid reminder of the power that swept through our area this week. The weather has since settled, though everyone’s keeping an eye on the forecast for the weekend after those turbulent skies[3]. Looking ahead, fall events are popping up everywhere. Leelanau County is gearing up for “Village Truck or Treat” in Suttons Bay next month, and traditions like the Trunk or Treat in Empire invite families to show off their creative costumes and enjoy Halloween magic early. If you want to venture out, neighboring Boyne City has its Farmers Market running through noon as well, offering another taste of Northern Michigan harvest[7][8]. Today’s your day to get out and experience Traverse City in its prime—whether you’re picking apples at the market, learning something new on the walking tour, catching local music, or just enjoying the first hints of autumn air.

If you are looking to get out and enjoy the community today, there is no shortage of unique happenings around town. Let’s start with a neighborhood tradition—PorchFest is taking over the Central Neighborhood Historic District this afternoon from one to five. Stroll the tree-lined streets and discover dozens of local musicians performing right from the porches of these beautiful old homes. Whether you’re into folk, jazz, or rock, there’s something playing on nearly every block and it’s all free, so bring the family, enjoy the music, and maybe even a lemonade from a neighbor along the way. If you’d rather get your game face on, downtown is hosting not one but two scavenger hunts today. There’s an Awesome Scavenger Hunt kicking off at two sixty South Union Street, promising plenty of clues and quirky local history. Meanwhile, conspiracy lovers might want to check out the Conspiracy Scavenger Hunt at three twenty-eight Washington, where teams unravel puzzles and Traverse City lore with a twist. Both are great ways to explore the city and maybe even win a prize or two. Art lovers, get ready for a pop of color—the first ever Traverse City Mural Festival is in full swing, with six artists transforming downtown walls into fresh works of public art. From ten this morning, watch art come alive and chat with the artists as they work. This is a free all-day event brought to you by the Traverse City Arts Commission, perfect for anyone curious about creativity or looking for vibrant selfie spots. Over at the Open Space Park tonight at seven, the community will gather for a candlelight vigil honoring Charlie Kirk, who passed earlier this week. This event is an opportunity for neighbors and friends to come together, reflect, and support Kirk’s family, organized by local groups and community leaders. Just outside the city, the Interlochen Farmers Market is running until two o’clock this afternoon at the corner of US-31 and J. Maddy Parkway. Grab some fresh produce, local honey, handcrafted goods, and maybe catch up with growers who know your name. Foodies, take note: Traverse City’s own Modern Bird has just been named one of America’s top fifty restaurants by the New York Times. If you have yet to try Andy Elliott’s creative spins on local ingredients, tonight might be the night—bookings are going fast. Looking ahead, wine and history buffs should mark their calendars for Taste of the Village, a wine and beer tour with a twist of local lore, taking place tomorrow. More information is available from the event organizers.

It’s peak harvest season, so expect local apples, late-summer squash, flowers, and plenty of homemade treats. If you have kids or just a sweet tooth, rumor has it the bakers are competing to see who can bring in the best cinnamon rolls, so that’s an extra reason to visit. After picking up some fresh produce, take a quick stroll over to Perry Hannah Plaza by 10 a.m. for Traverse City’s Guided Walking History Tour. This free two-mile loop weaves through the historic neighborhoods and the waterfront, and it’s a wonderful chance to stretch your legs while learning about the characters and stories that shaped our city. Whether you’ve lived here your whole life or just arrived, you’re bound to pick up a new tale or two. If you’ve got an artistic side or just appreciate creative works, the Crooked Tree Arts Center downtown is buzzing with exhibits all day.

At eleven, the Traverse Area Camera Club’s award-winning photographs are on display—always a snapshot of our region's beauty through local eyes. Also at eleven, the Cornwell Gallery features Textiles in Context, with works from four regional fiber artists. The galleries are excellent indoor adventures, especially if morning clouds keep you from the beach.

School is back in session for TCAPS students, though not without turbulence. For the first time in sixteen years, Traverse City Area Public Schools have started the year without a finalized state budget. This means larger class sizes, split-grade classrooms, and reduced support for extracurriculars. Some families are feeling the pinch from the loss of free breakfasts and lunches for economically disadvantaged students. District leaders warn that if state lawmakers can’t finalize a budget soon, an actual shutdown of local schools could even be on the table, making this a tense season for educators and families alike. Meanwhile, at Rapid City Elementary, students are putting green thumbs to good use as the community garden reopens, teaching youngsters both science and stewardship. Over at the FishPass project, real progress can be seen as water now flows through freshly transformed in-stream channels, and Traverse City prepares to test its new fish sorting channel, a crucial step for stream connectivity and species management across the Boardman River. If you’re looking for things to do today or this week, Traverse City is alive with arts and entertainment. The Higher Art Gallery opens its Forest Dwellers show, featuring the unique work of Michigan sculptor Cara O’Brien and painter Deborah Bowen. For textile art enthusiasts, Cedar North hosts 'The Quilt as Archive,' a solo exposition by Cody Cook-Parrott, exploring the history and meaning woven into everyday fabrics. The Glen Arbor Arts Center continues with its provocative 'HIStory / HERstory: Whose Story?' exhibit, sparking thought about who gets to write history. Music lovers can look forward to more stage action soon—the city commission just approved a new live music venue for the Beadle Building on Front Street, promising a fresh spot for local and visiting talent. If live music is your thing, keep an eye on the area calendar for winery, coffee shop, and museum concerts, with the Interlochen Center for the Arts leading the charge on big performances. On the nature front, fall color tours are gearing up, with historic schooner rides available for leaf peepers itching to enjoy those golden Michigan vistas. Families with young kids can check out the Peepers Program at the Grand Traverse Conservation District, perfect for ages three to five, exploring trees through music, hikes, and crafts. For those who love events with flair, mark your calendars—this weekend, Turtle Creek Stadium hosts the International Fireworks Championship, promising dazzling displays on both Friday and Saturday nights. Farmers, land stewards, and creatives are invited to the Land Based Projects Summit today, a gathering designed to foster collaboration across sectors. And in the art world, Traverse City’s first ever Mural Festival launches September 13, with six artists transforming Eighth Street into a vibrant outdoor gallery.

Over at the FishPass project, real progress can be seen as water now flows through freshly transformed in-stream channels, and Traverse City prepares to test its new fish sorting channel, a crucial step for stream connectivity and species management across the Boardman River. If you’re looking for things to do today or this week, Traverse City is alive with arts and entertainment. The Higher Art Gallery opens its Forest Dwellers show, featuring the unique work of Michigan sculptor Cara O’Brien and painter Deborah Bowen. For textile art enthusiasts, Cedar North hosts 'The Quilt as Archive,' a solo exposition by Cody Cook-Parrott, exploring the history and meaning woven into everyday fabrics. The Glen Arbor Arts Center continues with its provocative 'HIStory / HERstory: Whose Story?' exhibit, sparking thought about who gets to write history. Music lovers can look forward to more stage action soon—the city commission just approved a new live music venue for the Beadle Building on Front Street, promising a fresh spot for local and visiting talent. If live music is your thing, keep an eye on the area calendar for winery, coffee shop, and museum concerts, with the Interlochen Center for the Arts leading the charge on big performances. On the nature front, fall color tours are gearing up, with historic schooner rides available for leaf peepers itching to enjoy those golden Michigan vistas. Families with young kids can check out the Peepers Program at the Grand Traverse Conservation District, perfect for ages three to five, exploring trees through music, hikes, and crafts. For those who love events with flair, mark your calendars—this weekend, Turtle Creek Stadium hosts the International Fireworks Championship, promising dazzling displays on both Friday and Saturday nights. Farmers, land stewards, and creatives are invited to the Land Based Projects Summit today, a gathering designed to foster collaboration across sectors.

Fall is arriving in northern Michigan, and Traverse City is celebrating all the color, community, and a little friendly competition that comes with it. First up, it is day two of the Munga Grit USA Traverse City challenge out at Black Star Farms. Cyclists have just 24 hours to conquer an ultra-endurance race that covers the Leelanau Trail, the Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail, and scenic dirt roads winding through our region. If you’re out on local routes today, cheer on the riders who are pushing themselves—and maybe traffic—just a little further. Not only do participants get a custom finishers medal, but local volunteers are serving up hearty food and encouragement at fully stocked water points along the way. Look for a festive, supportive crowd wherever the trail crosses your path. If a relaxed Sunday morning is more your style, Kingsley's Rainbow of Hope Farm is hosting a blueberry pancake breakfast until noon. This event comes with a purpose, raising funds for local causes, and you can expect fresh farm flavors and friendly conversation with your neighbors. From there, you might want to swing by the Interlochen Farmers Market, open until two today at the corner of US-31 and J Maddy Parkway. Expect a classic harvest market complete with local produce, baked goods, and perhaps a handcrafted treasure or two to take home. For those interested in local arts or just something different, keep an ear out for announcement of a new live music venue coming soon to the historic Beadle Building on Front Street. This follows recent news of a comedy club opening downtown, so expect even more entertainment options in the weeks ahead. Meanwhile, just outside Traverse City, the Elk Rapids Cinema remains closed this week for renovations and will reopen September 12, so plan your movie night accordingly. Looking ahead, city officials are gearing up for a busy Monday with two major public meetings. Commissioners will dive into the city’s newly adopted strategic action plan, and later in the evening will join local experts to discuss creative ways to tackle housing affordability. The results of these talks could shape what Traverse City looks like in the years to come, so local input is encouraged. On the airwaves, Traverse Area Community Media continues its weekend programming, including civic forums and local concerts—perfect for a lazy Sunday afternoon indoors. Whatever your plans today, whether it’s getting outdoors for a fall color walk, sampling fresh local food, or cheering on an endurance cyclist, Traverse City offers something for everyone this Sunday.

Tonight marks the grand finale of the International Fireworks Championship at Turtle Creek Stadium. Pyrotechnic teams from Canada, China, Poland, Portugal, Serbia, and the United States will light up the sky, with all eyes on the championship trophy. Gates open at six, and the competition begins at dusk, no matter the weather, so bring a jacket and buckle up for an unforgettable show—tickets are still available, but they’re going fast. If you’ve got an artistic side or are just craving something inspiring, you’ll want to swing by Crooked Tree Arts Center between ten and three for their Sunflowers Finding Joy workshop. If you’re looking for a more contemplative experience, head to Glen Arbor Arts Center for the Reflections in Water exhibit, running all day. Or dive into the SHE exhibit at the Elizabeth Lane Oliver Center for the Arts in nearby Frankfort, honoring women in art with works from across the region. For horse enthusiasts, Traverse City is in the equestrian spotlight today as Hunter Holloway and Pepita Con Spita compete in the CSI3 Welcome at the showjumping event right here in town. This promising equestrian duo keeps climbing the ranks—keep an eye on those results and maybe catch some of the action yourself. Families have great choices tonight. At the City Opera House on Front Street, Puppy Pals Live brings a touch of comedy and canine charm to downtown at six pm, and for musical nostalgia, “Steamroller: The Music of James Taylor” takes the same stage at seven thirty. The beloved local theater, Old Town Playhouse, premieres The Addams Family tonight if you’re looking for a show with a twist. And if you’re in the mood for something different, Mashup Rock and Roll is putting on Quack to the Future at The Match on South Garfield Avenue at seven thirty. Expect unexpected tunes and big smiles. Looking ahead, Traverse City’s commissioners are gearing up for a doubleheader meeting Monday, discussing the city’s strategic plan and approaches to housing—topics that could shape neighborhoods in the months to come.

The sun is up and there is plenty happening around northern Michigan, so let’s dive into your latest local updates and things to do. First up, tonight is the much-anticipated Art of Recovery event, hosted by Addiction Treatment Services in Traverse City. This annual fundraiser is a special chance to support recovery programs while getting inspired by local artists, stories, and music. It’s a great way to give back and hear firsthand about the real changes happening in our community. For the horse lovers out there, the USHJA Young Jumper Championships kicked off yesterday at Flintfields Horse Park, just outside of town. World class riders and equine athletes aged four to eight are taking the spotlight this weekend, with 100,000 dollars on the line. If you want to see some rising stars and experience the excitement up close, the event runs through Sunday and promises spectacular performances and family-friendly fun. Now, a matter of local growth and careful planning: East Bay Township officials will be reviewing the site plan for the first phase of Camp Greilick next week. This 196-acre park, Traverse County’s newest, is already creating a bit of a buzz. There’s some community debate about issues like amplified sound and alcohol at the site, especially from neighbors near the Brown Bridge Quiet Area. But township leaders say the proposed uses are pretty limited and strict voluntary restrictions will keep things in check. Expect continued discussion as the project moves forward, with real impacts on recreation and the environment in the coming years. In downtown Traverse City, keep an eye out for a new dining spot coming soon. Todd and Carter Oosterhouse from Bonobo Winery are planning to open a sushi bar and tasting room right in the heart of downtown. Local foodies will want to try it out when doors open, as it promises unique flavors and a new gathering spot. Real estate fans may have noticed the local housing market cooling a bit, with July home sales dipping slightly compared to last year. It’s not dramatic, but it could mean more choices and gentler prices for buyers looking this fall. Looking ahead, mark your calendar for the tenth anniversary of the TCNewTech pitch competition later this month. Innovators, entrepreneurs, and tech fans can get inspired by local talent and discover the next big thing born right here in Traverse City. If you are looking to get outside this week, remember that fall colors in Michigan will hit peak soon. The nearby hills and forests are already hinting at their autumn transformation, so now is the perfect time for a bike ride or sunset hike. That’s it for today, Traverse City.

Waking up to a warm August morning with light rain on and off and highs pushing the upper 80s, so plan for humid sunshine breaks, a quick shower or two, and a mild evening in the upper 60s. If you’re headed out early, roads are wet in spots, so take it easy on the commute and keep an eye on changing skies through midday and late afternoon pop-ups. According to UpNorthLive, Traverse City is starting around the low 70s with today’s high near 89 and a warm breeze that will make the bays feel inviting but choppy at times[3]. If you want a low-key start to your Monday, the arts are calling. The Crooked Tree Arts Center downtown has two summer highlights open late morning: the Paint Grand Traverse 2025 extended exhibit in the Carnegie Rotunda running through August 22, showcasing plein air pieces painted around our region, and Turning TC in the Cornwell Gallery, a celebration of wooden artworks by local turners that feels perfectly Northern Michigan[7][9]. Over at NMC’s Dennos Museum, Matt Shlian’s kinetic paper sculpture exhibition bridges art, science, and engineering with striking geometry and movement, open from late morning into the afternoon[8]. Foodies and farm-fresh fans can swing by the Outdoor Mini Farmers Market at the Village at Grand Traverse Commons from 1 to 5, with baked goods, peak-season vegetables, herbs, and pantry staples under the Piazza pavilion. It’s a great midday stop between errands or a stroll on the Commons trails[4]. For those mixing culture with countryside, local listings note estate and wine tours continuing at area wineries like Black Star Farms today, which pairs nicely with a late afternoon bay drive if the clouds part[2]. As evening rolls in, you’ve got live music options within an easy cruise of town. The Dave Keller Band brings soul, blues, and rock to the waterfront amphitheater in Elberta for Jammin Mondays from 7 to just after 9, a good excuse for a sunset over Betsie Bay and an ice cream on the way back[10]. Closer to home, Northern Express listings also flag ongoing gallery shows across the region, from Glen Arbor to Elk Rapids, if you’re curating a quiet Monday night art crawl[8][5]. One more to pencil in for this week and weekend: community calendars highlight Swim for Grand Traverse Bay and the Traverse City Dance Project’s outdoor performance at Open Space on the horizon, both signature August gatherings that blend fun with a sense of place along our shoreline[1].

If you’re headed out early, roads are wet in spots, so take it easy on the commute and keep an eye on changing skies through midday and late afternoon pop-ups. According to UpNorthLive, Traverse City is starting around the low 70s with today’s high near 89 and a warm breeze that will make the bays feel inviting but choppy at times[3]. If you want a low-key start to your Monday, the arts are calling. The Crooked Tree Arts Center downtown has two summer highlights open late morning: the Paint Grand Traverse 2025 extended exhibit in the Carnegie Rotunda running through August 22, showcasing plein air pieces painted around our region, and Turning TC in the Cornwell Gallery, a celebration of wooden artworks by local turners that feels perfectly Northern Michigan[7][9]. Over at NMC’s Dennos Museum, Matt Shlian’s kinetic paper sculpture exhibition bridges art, science, and engineering with striking geometry and movement, open from late morning into the afternoon[8]. Foodies and farm-fresh fans can swing by the Outdoor Mini Farmers Market at the Village at Grand Traverse Commons from 1 to 5, with baked goods, peak-season vegetables, herbs, and pantry staples under the Piazza pavilion. It’s a great midday stop between errands or a stroll on the Commons trails[4]. For those mixing culture with countryside, local listings note estate and wine tours continuing at area wineries like Black Star Farms today, which pairs nicely with a late afternoon bay drive if the clouds part[2]. As evening rolls in, you’ve got live music options within an easy cruise of town. The Dave Keller Band brings soul, blues, and rock to the waterfront amphitheater in Elberta for Jammin Mondays from 7 to just after 9, a good excuse for a sunset over Betsie Bay and an ice cream on the way back[10]. Closer to home, Northern Express listings also flag ongoing gallery shows across the region, from Glen Arbor to Elk Rapids, if you’re curating a quiet Monday night art crawl[8][5]. One more to pencil in for this week and weekend: community calendars highlight Swim for Grand Traverse Bay and the Traverse City Dance Project’s outdoor performance at Open Space on the horizon, both signature August gatherings that blend fun with a sense of place along our shoreline[1]. This has been Traverse City Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.

Traverse City has woken up to a classic August Sunday, filled with summer celebrations, creativity, and opportunities to get outside. If you’re looking for something lively, the Northwestern Michigan Fair just wrapped up its final day yesterday, but you might still spot families sporting prizes from Arnold’s rides or showing off their fair ribbons around town. This annual celebration of local agriculture and youth brings the community together with competitions, exhibits, and good old-fashioned fun right at the Blair Town Hall fairgrounds, and with free parking and those amusement ride wristbands, it's become a staple for many area families. If you feel inspired to get creative today, Traverse City’s gallery scene is buzzing with events. The Crooked Tree Arts Center’s Cornwell Gallery is hosting Turning at 11 a.m., an exhibit dedicated to exploring fresh artistic perspectives. Meanwhile, the Higher Art Gallery is unveiling Great Bodies, a group show featuring 23 Michigan artists paying tribute to the lakes and waterways that define our region’s identity. It’s a visual love letter to Michigan’s abundant fresh water, and it runs until August 16. Over at Lake Street Studios Center Gallery and the Oliver Art Center, new collections and community projects, like Small Works: Community Collage, invite you to rediscover what makes Northern Michigan art so vibrant. Looking for an early start? The Trinity Lutheran Church has its Divine Service at 8:30 and a Bible Class at 9:45, welcoming the faithful and anyone seeking a reflective morning. Later, at 5 p.m., they’re hosting a community meal that's open to all, offering both fellowship and a good bite. Music lovers can wander east to Alden, where Ben Traverse is performing at the New Alden Village Center at 2 o’clock this afternoon. His unique sound blends folk traditions with modern storytelling and is sure to delight those feeling adventurous enough for a little drive. For those thinking about leadership and education, the Grand Traverse Resort and Spa is the site of the annual MAASE Summer Institute, kicking off today. Local and national guests converge to exchange ideas about special education, with breakout sessions, networking, and inspirational keynote talks setting the stage for several days of learning. If you missed the Outdoor Craft and Vendor Show at The Village at Grand Traverse Commons yesterday, don’t worry—this season’s markets and pop-ups are far from over. Traverse City’s artisans continue to display creative wares, so keep your eyes peeled for sidewalk booths and pop-up shops dotting the historic downtown in the coming weekends. All these events promise something for everyone, from the outdoors enthusiast to the culture seeker. Whether you’re exploring a new exhibit, catching local music, or soaking up fair nostalgia, Traverse City’s heartbeat is pulsing with community spirit and true Up North sum This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Things are bustling around town as summer hits its stride here in Traverse City. If you’re looking to get out and about, today offers plenty for locals and visitors alike. First up, it’s Rural Transit Day, which means riding any local bus will cost you absolutely nothing. That’s right, all fares are waived, so it’s the perfect day to try out public transit, leave your car at home, and maybe discover a new route or two. It’s a great way to get to your destinations while supporting the region’s commitment to connectivity and sustainability. Art lovers have a wealth of new sights and experiences to take in. Over at Crooked Tree Arts Center in the Cornwell Gallery, check out Turning TC, an exhibit of stunning wooden artworks crafted by the Northwestern Michigan Woodturners Club. Their hands-on motto, dedicated to the art of turning wood on the lathe, comes alive in a display running now through August 22. That’s just one of several exhibits in full swing, with more like Paint Grand Traverse 2025 and Matt Shlian: Every Line is a Circle at the Dennos Museum Center offering unique creativity and inspiration throughout the day. If music’s more your thing, the city is bringing its A-game.

These nationally gathered young musicians bring jazz, reggae, funk, and more to the heart of downtown, melding serious skill with a seriously good time. If you’re looking for great tunes with a glass of something local, wineries around the region, like Dune Bird Winery, are hosting live music and showcasing area talent throughout the week. Interlochen Center for the Arts continues its summer season as another great option for a performance in an inspiring setting. Families and lifelong learners have more to dive into, too, with summer reading events at the Traverse Area District Library, collaging workshops, and creative community projects underway. Over at Glen Arbor Arts Center, explore the “Random: Collages From The Scrap Pile” exhibit, a celebration of spontaneous art-making and keeping our creativity nimble. Later tonight, wind down with Improv Rhythms outdoors at F and M Park at 7:30. This unique dance and music series is a joyful way to enjoy the summer evening air and get moving with your neighbors. Traverse City still has all of those classic summertime highlights—the Ridge Trail hikes for panoramic lake views, fresh markets with local cherries, and that unmistakable feeling that comes from being surrounded by art, music, and community.

Start your day centered on the arts with the Glen Arbor Arts Center’s “Random: Collages From the Scrap Pile” exhibition, featuring spontaneous works by Leelanau County artist Mark Mehaffey. The show is a creative reminder to stay curious and open to possibility and it is free to visit starting at nine o’clock this morning. If you are in the mood for more, their main gallery opens at noon for the “Members Create” exhibit, which highlights the talents of fifty-five area artists working in everything from paint to metal to fiber and clay. The exhibits continue all summer, but today is a perfect chance to soak in some local inspiration and admire what your neighbors are up to. History buffs should lace up their shoes for the new guided walking history tour launching today. This easy two-mile route takes you through Traverse City’s historic neighborhoods and along the picturesque waterfront, beginning and ending at Perry Hannah Plaza. It is an engaging way to connect with the city’s stories and see how the past shapes the present. Families can gather at the Traverse Area District Library for summer storytime at eleven, where the Youth Services team promises stories and activities guaranteed to spark young imaginations. Meanwhile, anyone seeking support or a space to talk can join the NAMI Connection and NAMI Family Support Groups, both meeting at noon to offer mental health resources and community. Nature lovers will want to catch the Wild and Scenic Film Festival at three this afternoon, featuring award-winning films on nature, conservation, and adventure. And speaking of the outdoors, Black Star Farms continues to offer unique experiences, from estate and wine tours to the ever-popular goat yoga sessions, where a little laughter and a lot of leg stretches are always on the agenda. As the sun sets, Traverse City’s vibrant evenings come alive. Sports fans can head out to Turtle Creek Stadium for an extra-special 80’s Night as the Pit Spitters take on the Kenosha King Fish at 7:05. If you are craving music, head over to see the iconic rock band America performing live on their Encore Tour at 7:30, a chance to hear those classic hits under the summer sky. To cap off your day, local performers Patchwork Pear bring circus arts and storytelling to a lively summer reading event late tonight, perfect for night owls and families alike. That’s just a slice of the action on this bustling July day in Traverse City, where creativity, history, community, and summer fun are always at home. This has been Traverse City Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.

Traverse City is waking up to another vibrant summer day filled with music, sports, art, and plenty of ways to get together with friends and neighbors. Tonight, the legendary rock band America brings their Encore Tour to the Interlochen Center for the Arts at 7:30 PM. This is a chance to catch the Grammy-winning group behind classics like A Horse With No Name and Sister Golden Hair, so if you love nostalgia with your summer evenings, you might want to grab tickets before they’re gone. If you are feeling creative, there’s the Random Collages From The Scrap Pile exhibition and the Small Works Community Collage project celebrating the legacy of Joe Muer running all day, perfect for art lovers and families alike. Both offer hands-on elements and highlight local and regional creativity. Also, don’t miss the Great Lakes Pastel Society’s Members Small Works Exhibition and the Oliver Art Center’s Annual Summer Member’s Exhibition, with both spaces hosting engaging displays of visual art from across Michigan. If you want a dose of inspiration from our neighbors to the north, A Style All Our Own, showcasing Canadian Woodland Artists, is open and runs through late September. Families and the science-curious can head over to the Interlochen Public Library at 10:30 AM for Color Our World with Biomimicry, an engaging event that explores how nature’s designs can inspire art and innovation for all ages. In the afternoon, eco-enthusiasts will want to catch the Wild and Scenic Film Festival, featuring award-winning short films highlighting nature, activism, and conservation. For something uplifting in the evening, check out Jazz, Jokes and Jesus at 7 PM, promising a blend of music, comedy, and community spirit. Sports fans have two reasons to get excited: the Traverse City Pit Spitters face off against the Kenosha King Fish at 7:05 PM, and it’s 80’s Night at the ballpark, so dig out those retro threads and enjoy some family-friendly fun and maybe a little nostalgia on the side. If live music and local flavors are more your speed, Dune Bird Winery offers music tonight from Zinnia Dungjen, and Black Star Farms continues its series of summer estate and wine tours. For those who want to take their relaxation to new heights, even Goat Yoga is back at Black Star Farms—with goats guaranteed to lighten up your yoga practice and your mood. As Traverse City enjoys summer’s peak, it’s also a good moment to remember our neighbors in Wexford County after the fireworks tent fire north of Cadillac over the weekend. No one was hurt, but authorities are still looking for information, so if you know anything, reach out to Michigan State Police at the Cadillac Post.

The sun is up, the bay is sparkling, and there is no shortage of things happening around town today. Let’s dive right in and set you up for a vibrant day along the lake. First, watch out for some traffic delays on Grandview Parkway this morning after an incident last night in which a driver struck two pedestrians. Local police made an arrest at the scene, but please use extra caution in the area as the investigation continues. On a safety note, emergency services in our region are getting a boost thanks to a northern Michigan startup that’s easing the burden on our first responders with a new non-emergency transport service. It’s a real game-changer for both providers and patients seeking medical care without the urgent rush. If you are planning to spend time at Silver Lake, the DNR is continuing to monitor the water following a recent sewage spill caused by a clogged vacuum line at one of the campgrounds. City officials assure us that cleanup efforts are ongoing and water conditions are being closely watched to ensure the area remains safe for summer fun. For those seeking support, the Grand Traverse Mental Health Center has expanded its hours and is now open 24/7, plus they’re offering urgent care options—making it easier to get help right when you need it. On a lighter note, today’s events calendar is packed. Head to the Main Library lobby at 11 a.m. for free Feeding America sack lunches for kids and teens, a wonderful way to engage with the community and support local families. If you’re in the mood for art, the Glen Arbor Arts Center’s Members Create exhibit opens at noon, showcasing works from local creators. Over at Leland Library at 4 p.m., historian Molly Michelmore will talk about the evolution of the U.S. income tax, for anyone with a curious mind. Music lovers, you’re in luck. Local favorite Pinter Whitnick is playing live at Bel Lago this evening, and over at the River Club in Glen Arbor, you can find a rotating lineup of musicians bringing the summer soundtrack to life. If you’re feeling sporty, the Pit Spitters are battling the Kenosha King Fish at home with games this afternoon and again at 7:05 p.m.—nothing spells summer quite like baseball under the lights. And finally, Interlochen Arts Camp continues its “Collage” series tonight at 7:30, promising a dazzling showcase of talent from artists of all ages and backgrounds. That’s just a sampling of what’s happening in and around Traverse City today. Whether you’re wandering through an art show, catching a ball game, or simply taking in the natural beauty of the bay, there is truly something for everyone this Tuesday.

If you haven’t yet experienced it, don’t miss the last round of parades weaving downtown, heart-pounding air shows above the waterfront, and the always-spirited cherry pie-eating contests. There’s entertainment for all ages, from concerts in the park to vendors serving up everything cherry—think fresh-baked pies, jams, and even cherry barbecue sauce. You can join the energy at the Meijer Festival of Races this morning or the lively July 5K Fun Run, perfect for stretching your legs while soaking up that festival buzz. Culture seekers are in for a treat at the Dennos Museum Center, where “A Style All Our Own: Canadian Woodland Artists” opens today at 11 a.m. This exhibit runs through September but makes a perfect post-festival cool-down, showcasing the vibrant works of Indigenous Great Lakes painters who redefined woodland art in the 1960s. It’s a beautiful window into regional creativity that is open for you Tuesday through Sunday. If you crave more artistic inspiration, check out the “Random: Collages From The Scrap Pile” exhibition or the ongoing “Small Works: Community Collage” project—both reflecting Traverse City’s love for the hands-on, the homemade, and the heartfelt. Lovers of spectacle, don’t forget: summer isn’t over after the cherries. Traverse City Horse Shows continue at Flintfields Horse Park until September, drawing top-tier equestrian competitors in Olympic-level show jumping, and you’ll want to mark your calendars for the International Fireworks Championship at Turtle Creek Stadium this September, where teams from around the globe light up the night with world-class pyrotechnics.

Happy Independence Day, Traverse City! The sun is up, the flags are waving, and the city is pulsing with patriotic energy and excitement. If you’re looking for ways to celebrate, you won’t have to look far. Today marks the peak of the National Cherry Festival, and that means nonstop action along the bay. The highlight, of course, is the legendary Fourth of July fireworks show—one of the most anticipated nights of the entire year. The fireworks light up the sky over Open Space Park at dusk, with the show officially set to begin at 10:30 p.m., thanks to the Traverse City Boom Boom Club and the dedicated volunteers who make it possible every summer. A heads up for boaters, though: the Coast Guard has set up temporary boating restrictions for July fourth and fifth to keep everyone safe during the fireworks. The launch barge sits 3,000 feet off the Open Space, and there’s a strictly enforced safety zone. No boats or water activity are allowed within a thousand feet of the barge, and the area will be clearly marked and actively patrolled. Wait for the all clear from the fire marshal before getting close. But the fun starts long before sunset. If you want to get active before your evening picnic, lace up your running shoes for one of several morning races across the region. Whether you’re looking for a 10K challenge or a family-friendly walk, there’s something for everyone today. Art lovers, don’t miss your chance to see A Style All Our Own: Canadian Woodland Artists, opening at the Dennos Museum Center at 11 a.m. This exhibit explores the bold, beautiful Woodland School of Art created by Indigenous artists from the Great Lakes, and runs through late September. And that’s just the start. Traverse City is humming with events this weekend, from food and drink festivals to live music and theater productions. Of course, if you’re heading to the beach, keep in mind that Sunset Park has received a Level 2 E. coli advisory, so they’re recommending waist-up contact only for now. And farmers and foodies can celebrate a bumper strawberry season—local growers say the berries are thriving, despite a tricky spring and rising costs. Finally, this year’s Cherry Royale Parade will be led by the Rigan family, serving as Grand Marshals to raise awareness for cancer, a reminder of the community spirit that makes Traverse City so special. That wraps up your Traverse City Local Frequency for this Fourth of July. Wherever you’re headed today—whether it’s the parade, the park, or the bay—have a safe and spectacular holiday.

Summer is in full bloom here in Traverse City, and the energy around town is buzzing as the National Cherry Festival charges into its sixth day. Locals and visitors alike are soaking up all things cherry, with parades filling the streets, yesterday’s air show leaving folks wide-eyed, and today’s Cherry Golf Scramble and Kids Sand Sculpture Contest promising plenty of laughter and creativity down by the waterfront. If you thought you could pass through downtown without running into someone holding a slice of pie, think again. And don’t worry, for those who’ve come strictly for the eats, pie-eating contests and a smorgasbord of cherry-inspired treats are easy to find. This festival continues through Saturday, so there’s still time to join in the fun and celebrate our city’s famed fruit. Art lovers have a treat waiting at the Dennos Museum Center where “A Style All Our Own: Canadian Woodland Artists” is on display through September. This stunning exhibit showcases the bold and beautiful work of Indigenous artists from the Great Lakes region, including Norval Morrisseau, whose vibrant paintings have influenced generations. The museum opens at eleven and is a cool retreat from the summer sun, perfect for a midday break or a quiet afternoon of inspiration. If you’re looking for more hands-on community fun, the “Small Works: Community Collage” project, running all summer, offers a chance to get creative and honor the legacy of the late Joe Muer—open to all ages and skill levels. For those who prefer to soak up the outdoors, the Traverse City Horse Shows are underway at Flintfields Horse Park through September. With Olympic-level showjumping on display, it’s a unique chance to be dazzled by world-class equestrian competition right in our own backyard. On the public health front, be advised that there is a no-contact advisory at Sunset Park Beach due to a recent spike in E. coli levels. Health officials are asking swimmers and paddlers to avoid the water until further notice. And for parents or anyone needing to update their vaccinations, measles walk-in clinics are available throughout July in the DHD#10 area, just another way the community is keeping summer safe and healthy. The latest weather snapshot looks mostly sunny and seasonable, with highs expected around eighty and just a light breeze off the bay—a perfect day for festival hopping, hiking, or grabbing a breakfast burrito at one of our local favorites, Chubby Unicorn, for those early risers craving something delicious.

Running now through July 5, the festival transforms downtown into a hub of parades, air shows, concerts, and, of course, everything cherry. From pie-eating contests to local arts and crafts, there’s something for the whole family, but be sure to plan ahead—parking restrictions and crowds peak during festival days, and the Coast Guard will be enforcing boating rules through July 5 to keep everyone safe during the highly anticipated fireworks shows. Speaking of fireworks, get ready for an explosive end to summer with the International Fireworks Championship coming in early September at Turtle Creek Stadium, but for now, keep an eye out for preliminary events and family activities popping up around town as part of the broader Cherry Festival celebrations. For equestrian fans, the Traverse City Horse Shows continue in full stride at Flintfields Horse Park. Whether you’re a rider yourself or just want to watch Olympic-level competitions up close, the action is on all summer with special events, food vendors, and activities for kids. On the city infrastructure front, today also marks the start of Traverse City’s annual pavement marking program. Contractors are painting new parking lines, symbols, and crosswalks citywide, catching up on tasks delayed by last year’s weather. Centerlines and lane dividers—those long stripes on major roads—will get their annual refresh later this summer, typically all in one day. City leaders are even exploring whether bringing this work in-house might give us safer, better-marked streets just in time for peak visitor season. Not all the news is joyful—a beloved natural landmark is set to disappear. The giant cottonwood tree at the mouth of the Boardman River, a familiar sight to many, has finally succumbed to age and recent environmental stresses and will be removed soon. City arborists did their best to preserve the tree, but with its branches now brown and lifeless, the decision was made with public safety and riverfront aesthetics in mind. It’s a poignant reminder of how our landscape changes, even as our community grows and celebrates. In other news, warm and muggy weather continues with temps in the mid-70s to mid-80s and humidity staying high. Remember to hydrate, wear sunscreen, and plan your outdoor fun accordingly. And if you’re ready to give back, mark your calendar for the UpNorthLive community blood drive coming July 22. Finally, whether you’re craving local music, farm-fresh food, or a classic Up North adventure, keep an eye on local event listings—Traverse City’s summer calendar is packed with farmers markets, waterfront yoga, paddleboard classes, winery tours, and more.

Let’s take a look at what’s happening across our region today and into the weekend. The big story this week has been the heat. Traverse City hit a sweltering 94 degrees on Sunday, setting a new record and putting even the most seasoned locals to the test. That scorching weather led to a few hiccups around town, with cooling systems overtaxed in everything from restaurants to government buildings. Thankfully, relief is on the way with slightly cooler temps in the forecast, but locals are reminded to stay hydrated and check on vulnerable neighbors. Looking ahead, today is packed with things to do. Art lovers can start their Friday at the Dennos Museum Center with the exhibit A Style All Our Own, which dives into the vibrant world of Canadian Woodland Artists. That’s open from 11 this morning and is just one of several art options in town. You’ll also want to check out the Paint Grand Traverse 2025 Extended Exhibit, running now through August, along with the Members Art Exhibit and the Reclaimed: The Art of Ecology show, all offering a mix of creative inspiration. This evening, the city’s rhythm picks up. At 5, you can enjoy some tunes at Beats at the Barn, featuring a Frankfort cover band, or venture downtown to catch the Cherry Classic Car Cruise, where vintage rides and car enthusiasts gather to celebrate automotive history. If you’re craving live music, Late Night Fridays is hosting the B-Side Growlers from Grand Rapids, known for their acoustic flair. Families looking for interactive fun might head to the U.S. Coast Guard Open Ramp at 5:30, a rare chance to check out aircraft up close. Meanwhile, theatre buffs can catch Measure for Measure at the Interlochen Shakespeare Festival at 8, recently recognized as one of Michigan’s top summer stage experiences. Tonight, the Center Stage will be jumping with the Fabulous Horndogs bringing their trademark blend of R and B, rock, and boogie woogie at 7. Sports fans can head to Turtle Creek Stadium, where the Pit Spitters face off against the Wisconsin Rapids Rafters at 7:05. A quick community note: local health officials are urging caution after a measles outbreak was confirmed in Grand Traverse County. Make sure immunizations are up to date and keep an eye out for any symptoms. Finally, excitement is building for next week’s National Cherry Festival as crews get everything ready for Traverse City’s biggest summer celebration. Locals are reminded to expect increased traffic, especially downtown, and to support area businesses as visitors roll in. That’s a wrap for today. This has been Traverse City Local Frequency.

Health officials strongly recommend reviewing your vaccination status, especially if you plan to attend any large gatherings or spend time indoors with groups.

Community safety is also front and center in Peninsula Township this week, as local officials seek public input on making our streets safer for pedestrians.

If these issues affect you, keep an eye out for upcoming meetings and share your suggestions—your voice can shape the future of Traverse City’s neighborhoods. Looking for something to do today?

Over at the Glen Arbor Arts Center, the Random exhibition, “Collages from the Scrap Pile,” is on display for free in the Lobby Gallery starting at 9 a.m. Meanwhile, the Paint Grand Traverse extended show runs all day and offers a blend of styles from local and regional artists.

For those drawn to eco-friendly themes, don’t miss “Reclaimed: The Art of Ecology,” an exhibit that runs through the summer, reminding us how art and environmental stewardship can go hand in hand. If you like a challenge, the Thrilling Traverse City Scavenger Hunt starts at Espresso Bay downtown. It’s a fun way for families or groups of friends to discover local landmarks and maybe learn something new along the way. When the evening comes, the live entertainment heats up. At 7:00, the Cerus Saxophone Quartet brings a fresh jazz sound to the Oliver Art Center, and just across town, the “Concerts on the Lawn” series continues with a Jimmy Buffett tribute band—perfect for some laid-back, island-inspired tunes. Film buffs can catch Clint Eastwood’s “Gran Torino” as part of Michigan Movie Mania, also at 7:00.

County commissioners have also approved using artificial intelligence for Central Dispatch to handle non-emergency calls, a move that could mean faster, more efficient responses for residents needing help but not facing an immediate crisis. Meanwhile, the expansion plans for the county’s LaFranier Road campus, known as Project Alpha, continue to move forward with additional design work just approved by officials. And a public health note today: Grand Traverse County has confirmed its first measles case since 2019, so health officials remind everyone to check their immunization status and take precautions as needed. On the events front, it is a vibrant day for arts, music, and community gatherings. At the Dennos Museum Center, all are invited to explore the new exhibit “A Style All Our Own: Canadian Woodland Artists,” opening at 11 a.m. For art lovers interested in local creativity, the Members Art Exhibit kicks off at noon, also at the Dennos. The evening heats up with the Summer Artisan Art & Wine Walk starting at 5, where you can sip, stroll, and meet artists downtown. Over at the Open Space, the 8th Annual Paint Grand Traverse shows off the talents of plein air painters, with special viewing for award ticket holders. Music fans have plenty to look forward to this evening. The Summer Solstice Concert at the marina promises live music and free dessert from 5 p.m., so bring a chair and a picnic to enjoy the sunset. The Red Drive Concert Series features The Luke Woltanski Band at 6, while later, the Viridian Strings duo takes the stage at 7. And if you are in the mood for a big show, Grammy winner Gary Clark Jr. plays the city opera house tonight at 7:30, with Lamont Landers opening—a must-see for live music aficionados. And let’s not forget, Up North Pride and TART Trails host the Rainbow Run, a family-friendly four-mile fun run that promises a colorful celebration of inclusion and community spirit. With live music, art, food, and community events filling the calendar all weekend, this is the perfect time to get out and enjoy Traverse City.

Today is a vibrant day in Traverse City, full of events and activities that bring our community together and kick off a season of celebration. First up, it is Juneteenth Community Day, and the Dennos Museum Center at Northwestern Michigan College has free admission all day long. If you are looking for inspiration or a chance to reflect, the museum is screening the film Who We Are: A Chronicle of Racism in America at three o’clock followed by a community Juneteenth block party hosted by Northern Michigan E3 starting at five. The museum is also buzzing earlier with the Sunrise Sounds program featuring the musicians-in-residence, the Kodak Quartet, starting at nine. There are creative opportunities, too: check out the Random Collage Exhibition and participate in the Small Works Community Collage project honoring the legacy of Joe Muer, both running all day at the Dennos. If you are in the mood for something outdoorsy and want to support local businesses, head over to the Alden Sunset Market from two to seven this afternoon by the tennis courts on Tyler Street.

Don’t forget, Paint Grand Traverse is still underway with artist demonstrations scheduled at Crooked Tree Arts Center today. Whether you are an art lover or just enjoy watching creativity in action, this is a wonderful way to see local landscapes immortalized on canvas and maybe get inspired to create your own masterpiece. If you are planning ahead, Traverse City’s summer is packed with even more events from arts and crafts fairs to athletic competitions like the Great Lakes Equestrian Festival, attracting top riders and horses from across the nation. In just a few weeks, the National Cherry Festival will return, bringing parades, concerts, and, of course, all things cherry. Weather-wise, you can expect plenty of sunshine today with a high near seventy-seven, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor adventures. Tonight should be comfortable as well so keep those evening plans open, maybe for a stroll along the bay or an impromptu picnic with friends or family. That’s what’s happening around Traverse City today. Whatever you choose to do, we hope you make the most of our beautiful community, connect with neighbors, and enjoy the richness of local life.

If you’re waking up early, there’s already plenty stirring in our lakeside city. How about casting a line or watching others battle the river? The eighth annual Cheese Cup Fly Fishing Tournament is underway as we speak, helping raise funds for Child and Family Services of Northwest Michigan. Meanwhile, the total archery challenge continues—now in its second day—drawing nearly three thousand participants from across the country. Over at the kennel club, the Grand Traverse Kennel Club’s Cherry Capital Classic Dog Show is getting started. A weekend-long event showcasing some of the region’s most impressive dogs and skilled handlers, for those who love a little friendly competition and plenty of puppy love. If you’re looking for something for the whole family, today is a perfect day to get the kids outside. Kid’s Free Fishing Day kicks off at nine in the morning, welcoming young anglers, accompanied by an adult, to try their luck—no license required. If you’re up north near Glen Arbor, you can catch the Kodak Quartet at the Musicians-in-Residence program, filling the morning air with classical sounds during the Sunrise Sounds performance at Inn and Trail Gourmet. For the art lovers, “Layers of Joy” is wrapping up its run today at the Higher Art Gallery. Stop by to catch oil painter Cathy Engberg’s vibrant, joyful canvases and Kathleen Kvern’s layered abstract constructions made from recycled cardboard and encaustic. The gallery opens at eleven, and it’s your last chance to see this dynamic exhibit before it moves on. At noon, patriotism takes center stage with the Flag Day Celebration over at the city employee parking lot on 400 Boardman Avenue. Expect live music, family-friendly activities, and plenty of red, white, and blue from noon until three in the afternoon. As evening rolls around, prepare your taste buds for a feast of cheesy goodness at Turtle Creek Stadium—the Michigan Mac & Cheese Festival is back! From five to ten tonight, enjoy live classic rock from Knee Deep, a mac and cheese eating contest, a Dad Dance Crew, and even a world record flip cup attempt. Young cheese fans, under age thirteen, could be chosen as the honorary Kid Judge, tasting the best mac and cheese from local vendors and helping decide who takes home the title of Michigan’s Best Mac & Cheese.

We are waking up to another beautiful day here in northern Michigan, with temperatures expected to settle comfortably in the upper sixties. For those looking to start the day with some connection to nature, the Wellness in the Woods Series at the Natural Education Reserve kicks off at 5 p.m. It’s a great way to relax, listen to the birds, and enjoy some time among the trees. Meanwhile, Bardon's Wonder Freeze is hosting Cone With a Cop from 4 to 6 p.m., giving kids and families an easy, friendly way to meet local Michigan State Police officers while enjoying some sweet treats. Tonight, the community calendar is absolutely packed. At 5:30, the Economic Club of Traverse City brings you a thoughtful talk on Mexico-Canada-U.S. Relations. For music lovers, the Grand Traverse Musicale 2025 Scholarship Winners will perform in concert, with shows at both 6:30 and 8 p.m. Downtown, there’s a Harmony for Hope benefit concert supporting Peace Gate Farm Sanctuary at 6, and the poetic world of Emily Dickinson comes to life with a one-woman performance of The Belle of Amherst at the same hour. History buffs can catch Larry White’s lecture at 7, as he brings the golden age of Crystal Lake Resorts to life with rare photographs and stories. At that same hour, the Concerts on the Lawn series features renowned local talent Miriam Pico and Friends—plus, there will be concessions for a real summer evening feel. If theater is your thing, OTP Young Company’s Wizard of Oz Youth Edition opens at 7 p.m. There’s always something magical about seeing the classic tale retold by local young talent. And don’t forget, the Traverse City Pit Spitters are in action tonight at 7:05, taking on the Kalamazoo Growlers with a special Pride Night celebration at Turtle Creek Stadium. Switching gears to local developments, Garfield Township approved the future Altitude Trampoline Park, which will add a new family fun destination. Roadwork remains a hot topic: the Grand Traverse County Road Commission and TART Trails are partnering to create safer pedestrian and cycling pathways on Five Mile Road, and discussions about broader road improvements continue to shape the area’s future. Finally, in the news, local law enforcement responded to a deputy rollover crash in Kingsley, thankfully with non-life-threatening injuries, and the community continues to mourn after the loss of a Traverse City man at Suttons Bay Marina last weekend. On a positive note, area schools and organizations are stepping up with scholarships, concerts, and community events to keep everyone connected and moving forward. That wraps up today’s Traverse City Local Frequency. Stay tuned, stay connected, and be sure to get out and enjoy all that our city has to offer. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.

A beautiful day is upon us in Northern Michigan, so let’s dive into what’s happening around our vibrant city and the stories connecting our community. First up, it’s Smart Commute Week, so you’ll likely spot your neighbors biking, walking, or carpooling into town this morning. If you haven’t tried a new way of getting to work or school, it’s a perfect opportunity. Embrace the spirit of Smart Commute—reduce traffic, save energy, and enjoy that crisp bay air along the way. One of the bigger stories this week is the retirement of Wendee Wolf-Schlarf, the legendary K-12 music coordinator for Traverse City Area Public Schools. After thirty-eight years inspiring generations of students and shaping the district’s entire music department, she’s taking her final bow this spring. Colleagues have called her tenure nothing short of inspirational, truly the end of an era for music education in our region. Her influence will resonate in Traverse City classrooms for years to come. Also making headlines, the Church of the Living God and Angel Care Preschool are teaming up for a community fundraiser, aiming to retrofit their child care space. They’re inviting locals to help support the next generation, making early education more accessible for families across town. In health news, Addiction Treatment Services announced a temporary suspension of their Recovery Homes program, a pause that could impact many in our community who rely on those recovery resources. Stay tuned for updates as the organization works through this transition, and don’t hesitate to reach out if you or someone you know is in need of support. If you’re planning for family fun, development news from Garfield Township may pique your interest: an indoor trampoline park is slated for the Cherryland Center, and plans are moving forward on a major Macy’s redevelopment. These projects promise to breathe new life into some of our main shopping hubs, offering both kids and adults more ways to play and shop local. Looking for things to do? Mark Mehaffey’s exhibition, Random Collages From The Scrap Pile, opens today, showcasing spontaneous compositions by the noted Leelanau County artist. Stop by and be inspired by creativity from just across the bay. For weekend fun, local favorites are back—enjoy live concerts, indulge in wine tastings, explore farmers markets, or catch the Traverse City Horse Shows for some Olympic-level sporting excitement. And don’t forget Black Star Farms Paella Night or Drag Bingo for a bit of culinary and community flair. One quick road note: the Grand Traverse County Road Commission is beginning long line striping on area roads today, so expect some fresh lines and possible slowdowns around town. Drive safely and keep a lookout for road crews. That’s a wrap on this busy Friday morning.

History buffs might enjoy the Job Winslow Chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution Annual Garage Sale, which includes bake sales and craft items, with proceeds supporting veterans. For families, the Discover Fishing at the Pier Program was scheduled today but is already full – a reminder to register early for popular community activities. Creative writers and poetry fans should check out the Say It Out Loud Creative Writing Open Mic tonight, where you can share your poetry, spoken word, flash fiction, or other writings. And sports fans won't want to miss the TC Pit Spitters as they take on the Kalamazoo Growlers at 7:05 PM. It's part of the Pit Spitters' first homestand of the season.
