Good morning, this is your Traverse City Local Frequency for Wednesday, August 27, 2025. We’re waking up to another beautiful day in northern Michigan, and here’s a lively roundup of what’s happening in and around our community.

Start your morning at the Sara Hardy Downtown Farmers Market, running from eight to noon in Parking Lot B at Cass Street and East Grandview Parkway. Locals know this is the place for the season’s freshest produce, unique local crafts, and a chance to meet the people who grow and make the food that feeds our city. Vendors are set up with everything from juicy tomatoes to artisan bread, and if you’re lucky you might even catch the faint notes of live music drifting between the stands.

Around lunchtime or for a mid-morning art fix, head over to the Dennos Museum Center at NMC for the ongoing exhibit Reclaimed: The Art of Recology. Opening at eleven, this show takes a fresh look at art and sustainability, with works inspired by ecology and built from reclaimed materials. It’s a fantastic way to cool down while feeding your curiosity about creative solutions to environmental challenges.

If you’re heading south of town, Kingsley Farmers Market kicks off at three in Brownson Park. It’s packed with more than thirty local vendors, hot food stands, and live music to give your midweek a real energy boost. Bring the family, grab a snack, and enjoy the friendly community atmosphere that makes Kingsley one of our region’s hidden gems.

Art lovers should also plan a little drive to Glen Arbor for HIStory HERstory Whose Story at the Glen Arbor Arts Center starting at nine. This thought-provoking exhibition gets visitors reflecting on how history is told and whose voices are heard, striking up some important conversations in the world of local art and storytelling.

As the afternoon gives way to evening, consider unwinding among the vines with Wine Down Wednesday Art After Hours at Chateau Grand Traverse. It’s your chance to sip some of our area’s finest wines while enjoying the late summer landscape and perhaps even some art installations.

And for anyone who loves a good beat, the Traverse Area Rhythm Circles are hosting Outdoor Improv Rhythms at the Grand Traverse Civic Center at seven thirty. Whether you drum along or just feel the energy, it’s an open invitation for music lovers of every background to come together for spontaneous creativity as the sun goes down.

For those keeping an eye on agriculture and local food sustainability, today brings news of a hands-on workshop for Michigan farmers focusing on cover crop biomass, with applications for upcoming Dairy Business Builder grants closing on September thirtieth. Programs like these continue to strengthen our food landscape and support local producers.

That wraps up the best of what’s happening across Traverse City and nearby communities today. No matter your interests, there’s plenty to keep you inspired and connected. This has been Traverse City Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
