Good morning, this is your Traverse City Local Frequency for Thursday, September 11, 2025.
As the sun rises on a cool and memorable September morning, Traverse City joins communities nationwide in honoring the 24th anniversary of the September 11 attacks. The Grand Traverse Metro Fire Department invites everyone to its 9/11 Memorial Ceremony at 8:30 a.m. today. This event at the Grand Traverse Metro Administration Building blends remembrance with gratitude for our local heroes as residents, officials, and first responders gather to pay tribute to lives lost and the courage shown on that fateful day—and the ceremony promises to be both thoughtful and moving.
Afterwards, local life resumes its vibrant rhythm. If farm-fresh flavors call to you, the Long Lake Township Farmers Market opens from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Haywood Park, offering crisp apples, locally grown veggies, and smiling faces. Later in the day, the East Bay Corners Farmers Market sets up at Township Hall from 2 to 6 p.m. For a relaxed shopping experience, head to the Alden Sunset Market in downtown Alden, running into the evening with live music, fruit and veggie stalls, gifts, arts, and stores open late—making this a perfect post-work destination for browsing and mingling.
Art lovers, Crooked Tree Arts Center has two exhibitions that weaves creativity into your Thursday. “Between the Leaves,” Katie Lowran’s luminous solo show, opens at 10 a.m., while "Highways & Byways," a juried exhibition that explores the roads we travel—both literal and metaphorical—features work from across Michigan and keeps the gallery bustling with conversation and color.
As the day draws to a close, Farm Club hosts its Field Social from 6 to 8 p.m. This free event invites you to connect with neighbors under September’s golden dusk at 10051 South Lake Leelanau Drive. Expect great company, fresh produce, and plenty of laughter. It’s the kind of gathering that reminds you why Traverse City is so special.
Local venues are brimming with energy tonight as the Mary Schmuckal Theatre celebrates its grand reopening—the kickoff to its 65th anniversary season. This landmark event is expected to draw culture lovers and longtime supporters, setting the tone for an exciting arts calendar ahead.
For those tracking Michigan’s fall festival circuit, this weekend promises even more adventures within easy reach—from Bellaire’s Paddle Antrim Festival to the bustling Michigan Irish Music Festival in Muskegon. These events reflect the region’s diversity and readiness to embrace crisp autumn days.
And after a day of remembering, creating, shopping, and celebrating, expect skies to clear with temperatures rising into the mid-seventies—perfect for outdoor gatherings and downtown strolls.
