Weekend Happenings in Traverse City: Civic Meetings, Farmers Market, and Cultural Events
Published 3 months, 2 weeks ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Traverse City Local Frequency for today.
We start on the civic side, where Traverse City commissioners are in a rare Saturday retreat at the Senior Center from 9 to 1, opening the doors to the public as they dig into how they govern, communicate, and build trust heading into the new year. They will follow that up Monday night with a session on turning the citys strategic action plan into concrete, trackable goals, decisions that will shape what actually gets done on streets, housing, parks, and more over the next few years.
If you are looking for something a little tastier than policy, the Indoor Farmers Market is back from 10 to 2 in the Mercato at The Village at Grand Traverse Commons, with more than 30 vendors offering everything from farm fresh eggs and local meats to winter greens, cheeses, and still warm breads. It is one of the best spots to feel that midwinter community buzz while you stock your fridge.
Families have some great options late morning. At the Dennos Museum Center, the Impressions of an Era print exhibit opens at 11, showcasing works from the 1970s through the 1990s, a chance to warm up indoors and sneak in some culture. Also at 11, the Traverse Area District Library hosts Musical Storytime with members of the Traverse City Philharmonic percussion section, a 45 minute mashup of stories, rhythm, and hands on sound that is perfect for younger kids.
If you want fresh air, Winter Trails Day kicks off at 1 this afternoon, offering free cross country skiing for children and adults who are new to the sport. It is an easy, low pressure way to find out if gliding through northern Michigan snow is your new winter habit without committing to gear or lessons up front.
As the sun goes down, the city turns to music and dance. At the City Opera House at 7:30, The Magic of Motown brings live hits from the Temptations, Jackson Five, Diana Ross and the Supremes, Aretha Franklin, Smokey Robinson, and more, turning Front Street into a temporary slice of Detroit soul. Over at The Alluvion at 7, the Michael Dease City Life Quintet, featuring Geoffrey Keezer and Billy Kilson, delivers a high caliber jazz set for those who like their Saturday nights with a little improvisation. And if you would rather be on your feet, the Bayside Travellers Contra Dance starts with a beginner workshop at 7, then full dances with live music into the evening, no partner or experience required.
However you spend it, Traverse City has plenty to keep your winter weekend moving. This has been Traverse City Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
