Published 4 months, 4 weeks ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Traverse City Local Frequency for Thursday, November 27th, 2025.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! If you're looking to get out of the house today, Traverse City has plenty to keep you entertained while you enjoy this beautiful fall morning.
For our fitness enthusiasts, there are a couple of great ways to work off some of that future turkey dinner. The Up North Media TC Turkey Trot kicks off at eight forty-five this morning, featuring a five-mile race option along with other distances. If you prefer something a bit different, the Turkey Vulture Trot is also happening today with a five-kilometer race and a one-mile fun run for the whole family.
Art lovers should definitely check out what's happening around town. The Merry Marketplace Holiday Art Market opens at ten this morning at the Crooked Tree Arts Center's Cornwall Gallery, and admission is completely free. You'll find hundreds of unique handmade gifts and original artworks from talented artists across the state. It's a fantastic place to pick up one-of-a-kind holiday gifts while supporting local creators.
If you'd prefer something a bit more intimate, the Glen Arbor Arts Center is hosting their annual Small Works Holiday Exhibition at nine this morning. This showcase features over one hundred pieces of original two and three-dimensional art, all priced at one hundred fifty dollars or less. Each piece is twelve by twelve inches or smaller, making them perfect for holiday gift-giving or personal collections.
For those interested in exploring more artistic offerings, the Dennos Museum Center at NMC has two fascinating exhibitions on view. The Dewey Blocksma Roundtable opens at eleven this morning, featuring intriguing artwork inspired by medicine and art. Also opening at eleven is the Arctic-focused exhibition called Ice Into Ocean, which explores how ice shapes Arctic landscapes through large-scale drawings and installations.
Beyond the arts, there's also the OAC Holiday Artisan Boutique opening at ten, where you can find gifts from regional artists throughout northern Michigan.
Of course, if you'd rather focus on community and connection, several organizations are hosting Thanksgiving dinners today. A free Thanksgiving dinner opens its doors at noon, welcoming all community members. There's also the fourth annual Thanksgiving for Those Without at two o'clock and the Annual Community Thanksgiving Dinner, also at two, where the Cooks House is providing turkey, gravy, and all the fixings.
It's a wonderfully full day of activities, art, racing, and community here in Traverse City.
This has been Traverse City Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
