Welcome Spring!

Spring Fling at the Little Fleet
By Jillian Manning | March 12, 2022

Sunday, March 20, is the first day of spring, and whether it’s 25 degrees or 45 degrees, we’re celebrating the return of warmer, longer days. (Though let’s be honest—we’re ready to get the temps well above freezing.) The Little Fleet in downtown Traverse City is celebrating too: their Spring Fling event runs from noon to 7pm, where they will be unveiling their spring cocktail lineup and giving away free flowers to mark the change in season. Though we’re still a ways out from the return of the full food truck fleet, Happy’s Taco Shop will be slinging up delicious tacos and burritos throughout the day to curb your hunger. (As always, seating at the Little Fleet is first come, first served.) Eat, drink, and bring your best, flowery vibes for a day of springtime fun. See more at thelittlefleet.com.
