Hi everyone! We are so excited to see you soon. Just a heads-up that traffic in downtown Traverse City is particularly bad right now due to construction. Please allow ample time to get to the venue.

Things to Do

Traverse City, MI is a beautiful town on the shores of the Grand Traverse Bay off of Lake Michigan. There are endless things to do: enjoy the dozens of wineries, miles of coastline, incredible dunes and bluffs (Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore is a must-see!), a bustling downtown, and so much more.


Justin grew up coming here with his family, so please reach out if you're looking to extend your stay here and want recommendations of things to do!
