Whip up a string of sizzling, one-of-a-kind festivals, throw in a food and beverage scene that is turning heads around the nation, add beaches, azure water and a vineyardcovered peninsula and you have the intoxicating brew that is a Traverse city vacation. What’s more, somehow this fabulous city on the bay has managed to preserve a small town attitude that all but reaches out and wraps folks of all ages in a big, soft Midwestern hug. Play in the sun, eat your heart out then party into the night—or call it an evening under the stars. Welcome to Traverse city! —The editors of Traverse, Northern Michigan’s Magazine.
