Episode Synopsis

Good morning, this is your Traverse City Local Frequency for Wednesday, October 15th, 2025. The trees are putting on a show as October marches on, and Traverse City is bustling with autumn activity for locals and visitors alike. The weather looks bright and brisk today, perfect for taking in those brilliant fall colors that make our area famous. If you want to experience them up close, scenic drives along the Leelanau Peninsula or through Sleeping Bear Dunes are a must. Bring a camera—yesterday’s skyview flight over downtown Traverse City showed that the gold and crimson in the trees is peaking this week, so you will not want to miss it.Art lovers can kick off their morning with several unique gallery exhibits open today around town. Higher Art Gallery is hosting the unusual and imaginative “Light/House: Ruminations on the Storm” by Saul Gray-Hildenbrand, featuring sculptures, paintings, and fiber arts that run the gamut from the peculiar to the wonderful. Over at the Crooked Tree Arts Center, Michigan artists are showcased with “Highways & Byways,” and the detailed storytelling of “HIStory / HERstory: Whose Story?” at the GAAC Main Gallery takes a provocative look at how history is written and remembered. These exhibits open by late morning and make for a creative midday adventure. History buffs will also enjoy “Ice Into Ocean: Arctic Tracings,” the result of a seven-year artistic collaboration tracking change in the far north.For those looking to engage more deeply with community and learning, the Great Lakes Water Studies Institute at NMC opens its “Beneath the Surface: Training Tomorrow’s Water Stewards” event at 11 a.m., a timely reminder of our vital connection to the Great Lakes. And if you’re a supporter of the arts and innovative local business, the Women in Tech Meetup returns to 20Fathoms at 5 p.m., bringing together some of the brightest minds in the region.Tonight, why not wind down with Wine Down Wednesday featuring pours from Mari Vineyard and Discovery Cruises? If you are feeling adventurous, make the drive out to Empire for a 7 p.m. author discussion with local talent Ginger Langdon, or catch the 17th Annual Frankfort Film Festival, where you can immerse yourself in documentaries and international hits all weekend long. For those who revel in a good scare, Screams in the Dark Haunted Attractions opens its haunted halls at 7:30 p.m.—you never know what you’ll find in the shadows.And of course, with Halloween just a costume away, families can look forward to Traverse City’s upcoming Downtown Halloween Walk. Be on the lookout for local businesses preparing treats and fun for all ages. For now, make the most of today, whether it is exploring art, savoring wine, or just taking a long drive through the rolling, colorful hills of our beautiful home.This has been Traverse City Local Frequency.
