Good morning, this is your Traverse City Local Frequency for Wednesday, September 17, 2025.
It’s a beautiful start to the day here in Traverse City, and there’s a lot happening around town to keep things lively as summer winds down and we ease into the golden colors of fall. If you’re in the mood for some outdoor fun and a dose of local history, head downtown this morning for the Guided Walking History Tour of Traverse City. The tour kicks off at 10 AM from Perry Hannah Plaza and promises two scenic miles exploring the city’s historic neighborhoods and sparkling waterfront, all while hearing fascinating stories about the people and places that helped shape our community. It’s an easy walk, so bring your curiosity and maybe a camera to capture those early autumn vibes.
Later today, venture south to the Kingsley Farmers Market at Brownson Park starting at 3 PM. This market is a midweek tradition, hosting more than thirty vendors with fresh produce, artisan goods, and hot food. There’s live music and free kids’ activities, making it a perfect family outing or a relaxing spot to pick up dinner and support local farmers.
On the sports front, Traverse City Central’s varsity soccer team is riding high after a dynamic win against Alpena last night, turning in a 5-2 victory. High school sports lovers can catch the Trojans’ momentum and watch for upcoming matches as conference play heats up.
Music lovers might want to check the calendar as Michigan is buzzing with concerts tonight. While some events are downstate, keep an eye on nearby venues and the Interlochen Center for the Arts, where creative performances are on the lineup. At Interlochen today, there’s An Evening with Megan Rivkin, a guest artist event happening at 4 PM, which promises a rich experience for fans of creative writing and the arts.
Speaking of art, the Crooked Tree Arts Center is gearing up for its first annual fundraiser. While not happening today, it’s a local highlight worth watching, and a great way to support the arts in our region.
The wine country around Traverse City is still in full swing, with tasting rooms open and plenty of events for anyone seeking to enjoy a glass amidst the vineyards. The Traverse Wine Coast calendar is packed with tastings and winery happenings if you want to savor the local flavor and take in some autumn scenery.
And for those interested in the bigger political picture, there’s statewide buzz as Vice President JD Vance is visiting Michigan today. While no specific Traverse City stops have been announced, the visit is drawing attention, so expect to see some increased energy on the political front.
Remember, if you’re willing to take a short drive, Benzie County also has a variety of events on their calendar this week, from live music to family-friendly festivals, so there’s never a shortage of things to do in our corner of the Mitten.
That wraps up this morning’s round of happenings and highlights. Bundle up for the crisp September air, get out and enjoy the city, and take advantage of all Traverse City and our neighbors have to offer.
This has been Traverse City Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
