Good morning, this is your Traverse City Local Frequency for Saturday, August 30, 2025.

Traverse City is waking up to a beautiful Saturday, with clear skies and high temperatures expected to reach the low seventies—ideal for making the most of Labor Day weekend. Early risers can start their day at the Sara Hardy Downtown Farmers Market, running until noon at Parking Lot B on Cass Street and East Grandview Parkway. There you’ll find fresh local produce, homemade baked goods, and vibrant crafts, a perfect spot to stock up for your weekend picnics or pick up something unique from area farmers and artisans. If you’re venturing out farther, the Empire Farmers Market is also open this morning until one at 10234 Front Street, Empire, offering more chances to connect with local growers and savor the season’s bounty.

Later in the day, wine lovers are in for a treat with live music by Laura Thurston at Leelanau Cellars, combining beautiful tunes with vineyard views. Black Star Farms hosts its own Live Music on the Farm event, where you can sip local wines and soak in laid-back rural vibes. Wine country has been hopping this summer, and weekends like this show just why Traverse City is a destination for foodies and wine enthusiasts alike.

If you’re searching for something more upbeat, live music is pulsing all weekend across town, from familiar favorites at Bel Lago Vineyards to local acts at Little Fleet. The music scene here continues to grow, welcoming both visitors and longtime residents to dance, mingle, and enjoy those breezy lakeside evenings. Looking ahead, next week’s big highlight is the International Fireworks Championship at Turtle Creek Stadium. Six nations—including Canada, China, Poland, Portugal, Serbia, and the U.S.—will compete with dazzling pyromusical displays choreographed to music. The championship draws fans from everywhere, eager to see who’ll hoist the “Best of Show” trophy based on judges’ scores and crowd cheers.

On the community front, Traverse City is still remembering beloved farmer Doug Gallagher, honored yesterday with a funeral procession that drew residents from all corners of town. As summer wraps up, locals are preparing for school to start, and Wexford County schools are stepping up student wellness programs to support healthcare access, a vital development for area families. Elsewhere, firefighters have been celebrated for their recent lifesaving efforts, drawing well-deserved applause citywide.

For outdoor enthusiasts, local parks and trails offer a welcome getaway. Whether you’re biking the Boardman Lake Trail, paddleboarding on Lake Michigan, or just unwinding on the beach, today brings extra reason to get outside and soak up Michigan’s late-summer sunshine. Remember, with crowds expected this weekend, an early start will get you the best spots for shopping, sipping, or simply relaxing.

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