Listen "Autumn Bounty: Farmers Markets, Art Exhibits, and Community Concerts in Traverse City"
Episode Synopsis
Good morning, this is your Traverse City Local Frequency for Sunday, September 28, 2025.Wake up to a perfect northern Michigan fall day with skies clearing and a high expected around 75, just right for stepping outside and enjoying everything our community has on tap. If you’re up for fresh tastes and local finds, start your morning at the Interlochen Farmers Market, open until 2 at the corner of US 31 and J Maddy Parkway. There you’ll find autumn produce, locally made treats, and handmade crafts—all directly from the hands of the region’s farmers and makers. Whether you’re filling the pantry or just hunting for that perfect pumpkin, it’s the kind of place where conversations are as fresh as the veggies.Art lovers—Traverse City delivers big this Sunday. The Crooked Tree Arts Center hosts a luminous solo exhibition called Between the Leaves by Traverse City’s own Katie Lowran, open from 10. This show really captures the movement and texture of the area’s natural world and will be on display through October 4. If mixed media is your thing, head to the Glen Arbor Arts Center for Something To Smile About, a new collection by Carol C Spaulding, ready for you to browse starting at 9. And for those with a camera-eye, don’t miss the Traverse Area Camera Club’s 2025 award winners at the Carnegie Rotunda downtown starting at 11—see what local photographers have been capturing all year.If you’re lining up weekend cultural adventures, the Interlochen Center for the Arts invites you to a free Community Night concert at Dendrinos Chapel and Recital Hall at 4. No tickets required—just bring yourself, your friends, and your love for live music. And if you prefer to tune in from home, Interlochen Public Radio’s Music by Request delivers autumn-themed classics and listener favorites this weekend; you might just hear something that takes you back or sparks a new fall memory.For those venturing beyond the city, remember the harvest festival continues at Tahquamenon Falls State Park, just a short drive away, with family activities running through the weekend—think hayrides, pumpkin decorating, and a good old-fashioned chili cook-off. Closer to home, local galleries from Glen Arbor to Petoskey are open with ongoing exhibitions and artist talks scheduled throughout the day, so no matter your route, you’re sure to find displays that spark imagination.A quick glance at today’s news: Locally, it’s been a quiet Sunday so far, with community events and the fall season center stage. However, on the national and world front, keep in mind there’s breaking news from abroad following a tragic stampede at a political gathering in southern India, reminding us how critical crowd safety is even as we enjoy our own busy community gatherings.That’s what’s happening in and around Traverse City today. This has been Traverse City Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.For more http://www.quietplease.aiGet the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI
