This makes me want to get out and make new memories! Love TC!
Can I submit more than one? Festival AND brewery memories haha
Nothing beats a summer concert in the Open Space. Grand Traverse is special.
Jen StrawTotally agree, Jen! Last year’s jazz show at the Open Space was one of my favorite nights ever. Something about the bay breeze and the music just hits different.
You're so right—the Open Space concerts are unforgettable summer highlights and part of what makes our community shine.
Great to see you encouraging real stories. Cheers to small town pride!
I hope my kids’ crazy winter tubing pics count as ‘experience’ 😂
Definitely—those adventurous winter tubing pics are perfect for sharing, and we can’t wait to see them!
Would love to keep some spots quiet but also want them to thrive, tough call!
Never thought about sending my photos in. Maybe now’s the time!
Just got engaged at Clinch Park! Submitting my story soon.
Congratulations on your engagement! We’d be honored to feature your Clinch Park story.
Remembering cherry pit spitting contest—always cracks me up!
Any paddleboarders here? West Bay at sunrise = perfection.
Glad visitors can share too, not just locals! We come every summer.
I’ll submit my story from the Dune Climb misadventure 😂
Hope to see more restaurant recommendations, so many new places in town.
Love seeing so much northern MI love. Go cherries!
I have the cutest pic of my dog at Bryant Park beach. Sending it your way!
Best place for cherry pie? Because I’m still on the hunt lol
We hear a lot about Grand Traverse Pie Company, but every local spot has its own twist—let us know if you find a hidden gem, and we’ll share it!
The Boardman Lake Trail walk is a must-do! Always peaceful.
Will you share festival dates too? Planning early for family visits.
Yes, we regularly share festival dates and event info in our newsletter and articles to help with planning family visits—stay tuned!
Who remembers the big storm of ‘15? Got wild, but neighbors all helped out
The fall color drive through Leelanau is always a highlight. Can’t wait to share pics.
Hoping for more kid-friendly tips—share your favorites please!
Never tried a local winery? Mari Vineyards is amazing!
Great recommendation—Mari Vineyards is a local favorite, and winery experiences are always welcome submissions!
Cherry Buzz is awesome for this! Love seeing community stories.
Does it have to be recent? I’ve got some classic marina photos!
North Bar Lake is where we always picnic, shh don’t tell everyone 😉
Had a great time at the Elk Rapids Art Fair. Highly recommend for families.
Glad they want fishing stories too, cause Bass Lake had a record catch last fall!
Absolutely! Fishing stories from spots like Bass Lake are exactly what we love to share—congrats on witnessing that record catch.
Who else misses Sleder’s burgers? So many memories there.
Good idea! Sharing local hidden gems keeps them special.
I’ll dig up my Old Mission hike shots! Still my favorite trail after all these years.
Lake Michigan sunsets are unbeatable. Summer in TC = magic
We couldn't agree more—sunsets over Lake Michigan truly capture the magic of summer in Traverse City.
Can I brag about Moomers? Best ice cream hands down.
I’ve got pics of the National Cherry Festival I’ll send in! So fun every year.
Love sunset walks at Clinch Park. Traverse has my heart!
