Good morning, this is your Traverse City Local Frequency for Sunday, September 14, 2025. 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.

And finally, congratulations to Traverse City West Senior High School, which announced a new coach for the girls varsity basketball team, and to Cherry Capital Airport, now a nominee for USA Today’s Best Resort Airport. Stay tuned—these local achievements are making headlines across the state.

This has been Traverse City Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
