Published 9 months, 1 week ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Traverse City Local Frequency for Sunday, July 20, 2025.
The sun is shining and Traverse City is buzzing with summer energy, so let’s dive into what’s happening around town today. If you’re up early, lace up your sneakers and head over to the Sgt. Justin Hanson Memorial Patriot Run, featuring a 5K fun run and a kids’ quarter mile—a great way to start your day and support a meaningful local cause. Cyclists, gear up for the Ride Around Torch, a scenic bike tour with 26, 40, or 63-mile routes winding through Antrim County and Elk Rapids. For the competitive and community-minded, there’s something out there to get your heart pumping.
Art lovers will have their hands—and eyes—full. The Crooked Tree Arts Center invites you to Turning TC, an exhibit of beautiful wooden works created by members of the Northwestern Michigan Woodturners Club. Stick around to catch the extended Paint Grand Traverse 2025 exhibit at the same venue, featuring pieces made on location throughout the region. If fabric art is more your thing, don’t miss The Quilt As Archive solo exhibition and Members Create, which puts the creative spirit of area artists front and center.
Families and the young at heart can visit Samels Farm at one for Artifact ID Day—bring along up to five mystery objects and connect history with the present. Also at one, Tallulah the Mermaid Story Time will enchant little readers and Great Lakes fans alike. Nearby at the National Grand Prix, Kids Day brings fast-paced show jumping, food trucks, and shopping for all ages.
For a dose of community and culture, stop by the Presbyterian Church of Traverse City from 11 to 3 to witness the creation of the mural We are ONE People, a collaboration uplifting Anishinaabek wisdom and reflecting on the impacts of colonization. Later this summer, look forward to a celebration with food, music, and stories from the artists themselves.
Don’t forget to catch the playful Pickle Fest at the Cherry Bowl Drive-In Theater, wrapping up today—sample all things pickled and experience old-fashioned drive-in charm. If you prefer live music, Jacob Abraham performs at Bel Lago, and tonight’s Benzie Area Pride Network Fundraiser brings the soulful sounds of Blake Elliott and Aaron Dye, with food and friendly faces in abundance.
Baseball fans, your evening plans are set: the TC Pit Spitters face off against the Kalamazoo Growlers at Turtle Creek Stadium, with Tribal Heritage Night honoring local indigenous communities.
Finally, let the day wind down with classical magic as Detroit Symphony Orchestra’s Jader Bignamini conducts Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess at 7:30, in a side-by-side showcase with local musicians, bringing a true symphonic close to a Traverse City summer Sunday.
This has been Traverse City Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
