"Art of Recovery, Horse Champs, and New Eats: Your Traverse City Local Update"

Good morning, this is your Traverse City Local Frequency for Thursday, September 4th, 2025. 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. This has been Traverse City Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
