Description
Good morning, this is your Traverse City Local Frequency for Saturday, February 15, 2025. It's a beautiful day in Traverse City, and we've got a lot to cover, so let's dive right in.
First off, if you're looking for something to do today, you're in luck. The third annual Traverse City Bourbon Fest is happening tonight at Visions Weddings & Banquets. The event features over 100 whiskeys, handcrafted cocktails, a food truck, live music, and vendors. There are two sessions: one from 4 pm to 6:30 pm and another from 7:30 pm to 10 pm. Tickets are available, with general admission starting at $65 and VIP tickets at $115. Designated drivers can get in for just $10.
If bourbon isn't your thing, don't worry; there are plenty of other activities to enjoy. The Traverse Area District Library is hosting a special Black History Month program called "A Journey Through Rhythm and Time" with dancer and performer SkyeLea Martin. This event is happening today from 11 am to 12 pm in the McGuire Community Room at the Main Library.
For those looking for something a bit more relaxing, the library is also offering chair yoga with Janet Weaver from Traverse Bay Yoga Therapy. This is a great way to unwind and is especially suited for those who prefer a more gentle practice.
In other news, the Downtown Traverse City Association is gearing up for a free family event on February 23. This event will take place along Front Street and will feature live music, food and beverage vendors, and activities presented by area nonprofits. It's a great way to explore downtown Traverse City's restaurants, breweries, and shopping.
On the arts front, the Glen Arbor Arts Center is showcasing "Reflections in Water" in their Lobby Gallery. This exhibit is open today, so be sure to check it out if you're in the area.
Finally, a quick look at the weather: a winter system is expected to bring heavier snowfall to the area on Wednesday evening, so make sure to check the latest forecasts and plan accordingly.
That's all for today. Whether you're a bourbon enthusiast, a history buff, or just looking for something fun to do, Traverse City has something for everyone. This has been Traverse City Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
