  • Good morning, this is your Traverse City Local Frequency for Friday, February 28, 2025.

    Traverse City is buzzing with excitement as we kick off a weekend full of events and activities. The 15th Annual Traverse City Restaurant Week is in full swing, offering foodies a chance to sample delicious dishes from local eateries across the city and Grand Traverse County. This culinary celebration runs through March 1st, so there's still time to indulge in some fantastic meals at great prices.

    For those looking to embrace the winter chill, the inaugural Michigan Sauna Fest is heating things up at Clinch Park. Starting today and running through March 2nd, this unique event brings together mobile saunas from across the state, offering visitors a chance to experience the Finnish tradition right on the Traverse City waterfront. The festival kicks off this evening with a special event for sauna hosts, volunteers, and VIP pass holders.

    In local news, city commissioners are set to vote on Monday regarding safety improvements for a curved stretch of West Front Street. This comes as part of ongoing efforts to enhance road safety in the area.

    Looking ahead, the city is moving forward with plans to extend the downtown TART Trail. The Michigan Department of Transportation has offered $300,000 towards acquiring property easements, bringing the project one step closer to reality. The extension will connect the new Traverse City Senior Center to the Peninsula Drive/East Front Street intersection, further improving our city's walkability and outdoor recreation options.

    For those interested in stargazing, tonight offers a rare opportunity to see seven planets align in the night sky. The optimal viewing time is at 6:10 PM, so grab a warm coat and head outside for this celestial spectacle.

    Music lovers won't want to miss the tribute night to The Eagles at the City Opera House, starting at 7:30 PM. It's sure to be a night of classic rock hits and nostalgia.

    And for families looking for a fun outing, St. Francis High School is presenting "Shrek: The Musical" at 7:00 PM in the Kohler Auditorium. It's a perfect way to end the week with some laughs and great entertainment.

    This has been Traverse City Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
