82nd National Cherry Festival Begins

July 4, 2008

 Blue Angels kick off the National Cherry Festival tonight.

It’s one day early, but Traverse City is ready to celebrate our Independence Day in cherry festival grand style. Tonight the Blue Angels will make a special evening appearance before the fireworks over west Grand Traverse bay. Downtown Traverse City is canvased with festival tents for vendors and events of all types for the week long festival.

 

There are several new events this year including Cherry Idol, a spin-off of the well known TV show American Idol, Dancin’ at the Dome and the new V-pass which provides entry into all the festival entertainment for a small fee. There are too many events and activiities to mention, but you can learn all about it on their website www.cherryfestival.org.

 

This year’s commemorative print was created by D.B Henkel. It’s made from milk-based "paint", a timeless and unusual art process.
