Episode Synopsis
Good morning, this is your Traverse City Local Frequency for Monday, August 4, 2025. Summer fun is in full swing across the region, and there’s something for everyone to enjoy as we start off a new week. The biggest buzz today is around the Northwestern Michigan Fair, which opened its gates yesterday and runs through August 9 over at 3606 Blair Town Hall Road. From 10 AM on, you can expect the grounds to be bustling with carnival rides, classic fair games, local food vendors, and plenty of live animals. The highlight this evening is the tractor and truck pulls at 7 PM, always a crowd-pleaser for anyone who loves some roaring engines and friendly competition. Remember, you can get a Mega Band wristband for unlimited rides all week, and parking is free, making it an easy outing for families and groups.If you’re in the mood to soak up some local creativity, Traverse City’s art scene is vibrant this morning. The Crooked Tree Arts Center on Sixth Street is hosting the extended Paint Grand Traverse 2025 exhibit, opening its doors at 11 AM with fresh works painted outdoors all around the Grand Traverse area. Over at Cedar North in Cedar, a textile show called The Quilt As Archive starts at 9 AM, exploring themes of memory and personal history through fabric.
