A Friday Night Out in Downtown TC

July 27, 2024

The first Friday Night Live of the summer season takes to the streets of downtown Traverse City on Aug. 2 from 6-9pm. Front Street will be packed with vendors, food, family-friendly entertainment and activities, live performers, and local nonprofits sharing their work and stories with the public. (Note: There are only two FNLs this year—Aug. 2 and Aug. 9—so don’t miss out!) Also on Friday, shop the wares of downtown merchants with the annual summer Street Sale, a tradition since 1958. The sales run from 8am-9pm, though not all businesses will be open for the full stretch of time. Our advice: Shop early for the best selection, then return before Friday Night Live to see if any new goods have hit the street!
