Local Events: 9/28-9/30

If I say so myself, Traverse City is a pretty happening town.  There is always something going on.  So each week I'm going to feature some of the events for you to enjoy.

By the way, the weather is looking great this weekend!  Sunny and high of 66 is a perfect weekend to spend outside.  So layer up in your cutest fall clothes and boots because, let's be honest, weather in TC can change at a moment's notice.  My owner, Jenna, is currently loving this look:

After relaxing a bit in the morning, head to one of the coffee shops downtown for some really amazing coffee, a favorite is Morsels Bakery.  Then stroll downtown towards the Sara Hardy's Farmers Market.  Stock up on local fruit and vegetables for a home-made dinner later that evening.

After shopping and strolling, stop by Amical.  They offer an eclectic European cuisine in a very comfortable atmosphere.  Fill up on the Tomato Soup en Croute-a local favorite of baked tomato soup with puff pastry.

After you filled your tummy and strolled the shops of downtown TC, I suggest hopping in the car and head out Old Mission Peninsula.  Check out the amazing views and scenery, paying special attention to the changing fall colors.

Stop at the Brys Estate Harvest Celebration.  For $5 you get a souvenir glass, 4 tastings with food pairings and get to walk around the gorgeous winery.  The event is from 11-7pm and lasts through November.

Continue your wine tasting tour of the Wineries of Old Mission before heading back.

Speaking of heading back, be sure to stop at Burritt's Market on the way to Blue Shore and pick up some meat, white fish dip and a bottle of wine to add to your farmer's market veggies for dinner.  

After dinner, enjoy the view and the sandy beach.

See you soon!
