A Packed Day of Events and Exhibits in Traverse City

  • Summary

  • Good morning, this is your Traverse City Local Frequency for Thursday, February 20, 2025. We're starting off with a packed day of events and activities that you won't want to miss.

    First up, if you're looking for something educational and thought-provoking, the International Affairs Forum is hosting a discussion titled "Haiti: Crisis in Context" at the Dennos Museum Center Milliken Auditorium tonight at 6:30 PM. This event features Monique Clesca, a writer, journalist, and advocate, and Jake Johnston, Director of International Research at the Center for Economic and Policy Research, who will delve into the complexities of Haiti's current crisis. Tickets are available for $15 in person and $10 online, with free admission for current students and educators.

    But before you head out to that event, why not spend the day exploring some of the fantastic exhibits at the Dennos Museum Center? Starting at 9:00 AM, you can check out "Reflections in Water," a small exhibit of colored pencil drawings, or "The Sky Is Always There," a juried exhibit that opened on January 10. There's also the Outdoor Gallery Exhibit featuring Margo Burian's collages, and several other exhibits showcasing everything from Canadian Woodland Artists to contemporary Japanese ceramics.

    If you're looking for something more active, the Advanced Tai Chi class is happening from 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM, and the Kid's Craft Lab is offering a session on Pinecone Critters at the same time. Later in the day, the Inland Seas Education Association is hosting a meetup at 3:30 PM, and the Bellaire Business After Hours event is taking place at 5:30 PM.

    Looking ahead to the weekend, don't forget about the Valentine Run/Walk on Saturday at 9:30 AM, and the Thrilling Traverse Amazing Race & Tour starting at 11:00 AM. And if you're interested in real estate, there's a Traverse City Real Estate Investing Strategies event on Saturday at 10:00 AM.

    In other news, mark your calendars for the upcoming Traverse City Restaurant Week, happening from February 23 to March 1. This is a great opportunity to explore the local culinary scene and support our fantastic restaurants.

    Finally, if you're planning ahead, the Downtown Traverse City Association has a full lineup of events coming up, including the Old Town Arts & Crafts Fair on June 14 and the National Cherry Festival Arts & Crafts Fair on June 29.
