Good morning, this is your Traverse City Local Frequency for Sunday, November 30th, 2025. Welcome to your Sunday morning, folks. We've got a wonderful day ahead with plenty of holiday cheer and cultural activities happening right here in our community. Whether you're looking to get into the festive spirit or explore some local art, there's something for everyone today. Let's start up north in Northport, where the Grand Traverse Lighthouse Museum is hosting the Lighthouse Parade of Trees this morning starting at ten o'clock. This is a delightful family-friendly event where you'll find fifteen beautifully decorated themed trees spread throughout the historic lighthouse buildings. We're talking everything from a Grinch-themed display to Northport in Postcards and a Patriotic section. If you've got kids in tow, Santa's Workshop will be set up with crafts and activities to keep them entertained. Admission is just three to eight dollars, making it an affordable way to kick off your Sunday with some holiday magic. Back here in Traverse City, art lovers have multiple options this morning. At eleven o'clock, head over to the Dennos Museum Center at Northwestern Michigan College to check out an exhibition called Ice Into Ocean Arctic Tracings. If you're more in the mood for something interactive, Art on Union Gallery is also opening at eleven with Winter and the Blues, where you can enjoy seasonal sips and sweets while exploring local artwork that captures the calm and quiet beauty of the season. Over at the Crooked Tree Arts Center in the Cornwall Gallery, the Merry Marketplace twenty twenty-five holiday art market kicked off at ten this morning, giving you a chance to support local artists and pick up some unique holiday gifts. And if you're heading out toward Glen Arbor, the Fifth Annual Strolling Lights Festival is lighting up Crystal River Outfitters Recreational District starting at eleven o'clock. For our classical music fans, Interlochen Public Radio has been featuring Music by Request all weekend, with performances from talented artists and the Northern Michigan Chorale. You can catch that on demand anytime. It's really a special day to be out in Traverse City and the surrounding communities. The holiday season is in full swing, and our local venues are doing an amazing job bringing people together through art, culture, and family-friendly activities.
