Good morning, this is your Traverse City Local Frequency for Tuesday, April 8, 2025.
Traverse City is bustling with activity today, and there’s plenty to keep you engaged across our vibrant community. Kicking things off this morning, the Boardman River Nature Center is hosting its Spring Peepers Program at 10 a.m. This event, perfect for children ages 3 to 5, offers a fun exploration of spiders through stories, crafts, and music—perfect for tiny nature lovers. Meanwhile, at the Dennos Museum Center, the "Small Expressions" exhibit continues, showcasing intricate small-scale fiber art. This exhibit is open until May 25, but why not stop by today between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. to soak in some creative inspiration?
Art enthusiasts can also check out the Annual Regional Student Art Exhibition, which runs all day and features hundreds of incredible works by budding artists.

Later today, from 2 to 3:30 p.m., the Spanish Conversation Course at the Traverse Area District Library invites participants to brush up on their language skills in a welcoming environment. If technology is your interest, Tech Tuesday at 2 p.m. offers a primer on podcasts for those curious about diving into the world of audio storytelling.
As evening approaches, the Grand Traverse County Civic Center will host an open art night at 6 p.m., presented by Up North Pride. This inclusive event encourages everyone to express their creativity in a supportive environment. For a more cinematic experience, the "Our Planet Live" documentary series begins at 7 p.m., showcasing breathtaking visuals from polar landscapes to rainforests. It promises to be an awe-inspiring way to end your day.
The community is also still abuzz following this past weekend’s Hands Off National Day of Action rally, which drew over 3,000 people downtown. Local residents came together to advocate for democracy and social programs, underscoring the strength and passion of Traverse City’s civic spirit.
Finally, a heads-up for wine and running enthusiasts: Registration is open for the Wine Run 5K at Mari Vineyards, happening this weekend. Don’t miss the chance to combine your love of fitness with Traverse City’s renowned wine culture.
