Episode Synopsis

Good morning, this is your Traverse City Local Frequency for Monday, November 10, 2025.Traverse City woke up under a fresh blanket of snow yesterday, right on schedule for northern Michigan, and it’s the perfect backdrop for a week packed with local events and stories that bring our community together. As we look to the heart of November, we also mark a powerful anniversary—the fifty-year remembrance of the sinking of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald. Today, a series of commemorative events are planned, including a bell-ringing memorial service at noon and a special evening presentation at Peninsula Community Library at 6:30 p.m. Shipwreck expert Ross Richardson will bring the stirring tale to life. Expect poignant storytelling and, fittingly, a performance of the iconic ballad honoring the ship and her crew. Local lawmakers are also joining in with a resolution in Lansing recognizing this significant anniversary—truly a day for shared reflection.Art lovers have plenty to cheer about today. The annual Small Works Holiday Exhibition opens this morning, offering accessible two and three-dimensional art pieces just in time for holiday gifting. If you find inspiration in nature, make your way to the Oliver Art Center for “Elemental: Earth, Fire, Air, Water,” where Michigan artists express the drama of the natural world. Over at the Dennos Museum Center, “Ice Into Ocean: Arctic Tracings” explores the beauty and fragility of icy landscapes, the result of a seven-year artistic collaboration.Shoppers in the festive spirit will want to explore the Merry Marketplace Holiday Art Market, where hundreds of handmade gifts await. Meanwhile, the Kalkaska Festival of Trees runs through November 15, transforming the space with twinkling displays and clever decorations, all while raising funds to help neighbors in need.Beer fans, Traverse City Beer Week continues with today’s “Brown Sugar” focus, so taste your way through town and see which local brews surprise you this year. And if live music is your thing, keep an ear out—venues across the city are hosting performances in the lead-up to a weekend packed with sounds both familiar and new.Elsewhere, Eighth Street at Fair Street is closed this morning due to a crash and damaged power pole, so commuters should allow extra time or detour as needed. On the brighter side, progress continues on Cornwall Dam repairs, and new electric vehicle charging stations are coming to the region, with over a million dollars awarded for infrastructure upgrades.That’s your Monday in Traverse City—fresh snow, the hum of local art, a profound moment for maritime history, and all the energy that makes this town tick.
