Traverse City is a wonderful place (to avoid at all costs) during the Cherry Festival.

We decided to rent a cabin in Scolls favorite city instead from the 3rd until the 10th. Will still be going to TC though. Only 3 months and a few days. LOL

Having grew up on LI, I consider the Cherry Festival "cute" and kind of a novelty. "Crowded" is not an adjective I'd use. I enjoy it when there a few thousand extra folks around, plus it's only for a week or so. You'd think that the natives would embrace an extra few hundred thousand dollars thrown into the local economy

I've never found the traffic to be that bad. Always seems to flow fairly nice.

Exactly! Never any major tieups ( unless you consider 3 traffic light cycles a traffic jam) and everyone is nice & civil and law enforcement keeps it that way

I have zero problems with the event happening, I just don't want to be near it myself. Would rather walk the streets of TC when it's not so crowded and dine out when restaurants are not packed. Same goes for the Film Festival.
I'm sure you underestimate the economic impact though...it's certainly many millions of dollars a year.

Traverse city is a good example of captilism with the stench from pollution in the lakes including lake michigan and a corrupt police force where as these police have killed people in their jails and constantly get away with whatever they want.As for the cherry festival i beleive it just adds more pollution and is a huge waste.More should be done to have year round activities for children.

That was a funny trolling post. Espeicially because you can drink the water out of Grand Traverse Bay if you're away from shore
