"Suds, Snowflakes, and Sauna Fest: Your Traverse City Weekend Roundup"

Good morning, this is your Traverse City Local Frequency for March 1, 2025. We've got a packed day of events and activities for you to enjoy in our beautiful city. Let's start with the highlight of the day - the 18th Annual Suds & Snow event at Timber Ridge. This "Ultimate Party in the Woods" runs from 1 to 6 PM and features over 20 craft vendors serving beer, wine, and cider, along with local food trucks and live music on two stages. This year's theme is Pirates, so don your best buccaneer attire and join the fun! For those looking for a more low-key start to the day, head over to The Village at GT Commons for the Indoor Farmers Market from 10 AM to 2 PM. It's a great opportunity to stock up on local produce and artisanal goods. Art enthusiasts won't want to miss the "Small Expressions" exhibit at the Dennos Museum Center. This annual juried exhibition showcases contemporary small-scale works using fiber techniques, with none exceeding 15 inches in any direction. The museum is open from 11 AM to 4 PM. If you're feeling hungry, remember that today is the last day of Traverse City Restaurant Week. Over 50 local eateries are offering special prix fixe menus at $25, $35, or $45 per person. It's your final chance to explore our city's diverse culinary scene at a great value. For those interested in maritime history, the Maritime Heritage Alliance is holding an open house today. It's a free event where you can learn about volunteer opportunities for the upcoming summer season and explore the art of sailing. Looking ahead to this evening, theater lovers can catch a performance of "Shrek: The Musical" or "The Addams Family Musical" at local venues. Both shows start at 7 PM and promise a night of entertainment for the whole family. For outdoor enthusiasts, don't forget that the Michigan Sauna Fest is still ongoing. Take a break from the chilly weather and warm up in one of the many saunas available around the city. Lastly, if you're planning ahead, Grand Traverse Resort and Spa has announced their Spring Break Packages for March 21 to April 6. It might be worth booking now to secure your spot for some springtime relaxation. This has been Traverse City Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
