Episode Synopsis
Good morning, this is your Traverse City Local Frequency for Wednesday, July 30, 2025.We’re waking up to a sunny summer Wednesday here in Traverse City and there’s no shortage of activity around town. If you have an early start, swing by the Sara Hardy Downtown Farmers Market, open from eight to noon at Lot B between Cass Street and Grandview Parkway, where the stands are overflowing with the freshest local produce, flowers, and baked treats. It’s the perfect way to fill your kitchen and meet up with neighbors over coffee while supporting our regional growers.Art lovers will find Traverse City humming all day with creative energy. Several exhibits open their doors mid-morning: at the Crooked Tree Arts Center, Wooden and Earthen features stunning nature-inspired works by Nik Burkhart, Nick Preneta, and other artists, while the Turning TC show spotlights masterpieces from the Northwestern Michigan Woodturners Club, celebrating the art of turning wood on the lathe. Just down the street, Higher Art Gallery is hosting the Great Bodies group show, a visual love letter to Michigan’s abundance of freshwater. The Paint Grand Traverse extended exhibit is also underway, showcasing pieces that capture the spirit of our peninsula.For those wanting a little outdoor adventure, join Hike the Ridge at five this evening for a guided walk on the new Ridge Trail, courtesy of the Grand Traverse Regional Land Conservancy. You’ll get fresh air, exercise, and some of the region’s best views.Later, music fans have a treat in store. The Summer Picnic Concert series brings acoustic country and folk sounds to the Barn starting at five. And over at the Alluvion, local musicians take the stage, serving up the lively energy that makes Traverse City’s music scene so vibrant.If you’re feeling a bit mysterious tonight, Traverse City After Dark invites you to step into a real-life murder mystery at 131 East Front Street.
