Traverse City

It is the largest city in the 21-county Northern Michigan region. Come to visit this city, which is considered to be one of the best weekend getaways in the Midwest that you can't miss.
To the untrained eye, this small settlement of 15,000 people appears to be just another picturesque lake village. But don't worry, Traverse City is so much more. This northern Michigan resort has developed a reputation as a cultural and gourmet hotspot, which has only added to its already impressive curb appeal. Every year, Traverse City hosts one of the country's largest film festivals, the Traverse City Film Festival. Not only that, but its annual National Cherry Festival is one of the country's largest. Couple all this with its burgeoning wine and brewery scene and its abundance of outdoors offerings, including one of the few places in the world where you can behold perched sand dunes, and you've got the perfect recipe for an unforgettable Midwestern vacation.
