I love cherries…and in Michigan they take over the town of Traverse City. This is the cherry hub and anything you can think of doing with cherries is available during the first week of July. We like to go there for the small town atmosphere even though it is a larger town. The Red Wings hold their preseason practices, The State Theater hosts a weeklong series of great movies. The beaches are clean and ready for crowds. When you are visiting you get the feel of being in Ann Arbor, except this is much better!
