Now in its 84th year, the Cherry Festival is Traverse City’s signature event, drawing as many as 500,000 attendees from around the country. Everything is located conveniently within walking distance, and since almost all the events are free, it offers more than a week of affordable family fun.

Traverse City Film Festival - Enjoy Staying at The Brownstone Condos right Downtown Traverse City

Traverse City Film Festival
Festivals
Location: Downtown Traverse City
When: July 27 - August 1, 2010

Summertime is “outside time” in Traverse City, so it might seem odd that one of the area’s most popular new summer festivals takes place almost entirely indoors. Founded in 2005, the Traverse City Film Festival has been able to lure movie buffs away from the beaches and golf courses with an outstanding selection of independent, foreign, and documentary films, as well as premieres, parties, panel discussions and lectures about the world of film. Most events are held near downtown -- at the vintage State Theatre, the City Opera House, and the Old Town Playhouse – but there are also free family movies shown each night at an outdoor screen at Open Space Park on the shore of West Grand Traverse Bay.
