Traverse City Wine & Art Festival

First annual Traverse City Wine & Art Festival at The Village

 

After years of watching the wine festivals in Leland and Northport swell to numbers that can barely be contained by the tents overhead, there is finally a festival right here in Traverse City. Saturday, August 22nd the Traverse City Wine & Art Festival will be held on the grounds outside Building 50 at The Village.

The festival features wines from 22 area wineries, from both Leelanau and Old Mission peninsulas. And unlike other wine festivals, which operate primarily as tasting events, attendees will receive 2 full glass pours with the $20 ticket. Additional drink tickets are available for $4.

 

The event also includes a juried art show, live music from Thom Jayne and the Nomads, as well as food from Underground Cheesecake, Bourbon 72, Silvertree Deli and Maybings.

 

Tickets are $20 and are available through participating wineries or purchase online through the LPVA. For more details about the festival visit their website at www.traversecitywinefestival.com.

Stop by the Michigan Legacy Art Park, located on the grounds of Crystal Mountain Resort & Spa, on August 14th at 2pm for the dedication of the Art Park’s latest addition: Fallen Comrade by artist David Greenwood. The dramatic sculpture is inspired by the P-51 flown by the heroic Tuskegee airmen during World War II.

The Legacy Awards Gala will follow the dedication at 6pm. The evening includes a silent auction, dinner and cash bar. The Legacy Award will be presented to the Tuskegee Airmen nationwide, with special attention for those in attendance.

Special lodging packages for those attending the gala are available. Contact Crystal Mountain reservations at 800-968-7686 ext. 5100 for more information.

 

Michigan Legacy Art Park one of the places on my Up North Summer To-Do List. Now there will be one more amazing sculpture to check out this year. And another reminder for me that summer is flying by and I still have a lot of To-Do items to accomplish.
