Episode Synopsis

Good morning, this is your Traverse City Local Frequency for Saturday, September 6, 2025.The sun is shining on a packed Traverse City calendar today, and residents and visitors have plenty to enjoy as we cruise into another September weekend. Let’s kick things off with a major highlight. Tonight marks the grand finale of the International Fireworks Championship at Turtle Creek Stadium. Pyrotechnic teams from Canada, China, Poland, Portugal, Serbia, and the United States will light up the sky, with all eyes on the championship trophy. Gates open at six, and the competition begins at dusk, no matter the weather, so bring a jacket and buckle up for an unforgettable show—tickets are still available, but they’re going fast.If you’ve got an artistic side or are just craving something inspiring, you’ll want to swing by Crooked Tree Arts Center between ten and three for their Sunflowers Finding Joy workshop. If you’re looking for a more contemplative experience, head to Glen Arbor Arts Center for the Reflections in Water exhibit, running all day. Or dive into the SHE exhibit at the Elizabeth Lane Oliver Center for the Arts in nearby Frankfort, honoring women in art with works from across the region.For horse enthusiasts, Traverse City is in the equestrian spotlight today as Hunter Holloway and Pepita Con Spita compete in the CSI3 Welcome at the showjumping event right here in town. This promising equestrian duo keeps climbing the ranks—keep an eye on those results and maybe catch some of the action yourself.Families have great choices tonight. At the City Opera House on Front Street, Puppy Pals Live brings a touch of comedy and canine charm to downtown at six pm, and for musical nostalgia, “Steamroller: The Music of James Taylor” takes the same stage at seven thirty. The beloved local theater, Old Town Playhouse, premieres The Addams Family tonight if you’re looking for a show with a twist.And if you’re in the mood for something different, Mashup Rock and Roll is putting on Quack to the Future at The Match on South Garfield Avenue at seven thirty. Expect unexpected tunes and big smiles.Looking ahead, Traverse City’s commissioners are gearing up for a doubleheader meeting Monday, discussing the city’s strategic plan and approaches to housing—topics that could shape neighborhoods in the months to come.That’s all for the local headlines, arts, sports, and things to do on this beautiful Saturday.
