- National Cherry Festival, Traverse City.
For a great family fun week attend the National Cherry Festival in Traverse City. Enjoy the loads of luscious cherries prepared every way you can think, colorful parades, marching bands, music shows and pie eating contests.
What could be more American than a Fourth of July week celebration for a fruit associated with George Washington? There are 150-plus events this year: a Blue Angels air show, a concert by Loverboy, and traditional contests for cherry pie–eating and pit-spitting. "There was a guy in his 70s who spit something like 36 feet," says longtime volunteer Lee Torrey, who himself won the contest one year, spitting a pit 44 feet. Three quarters of the events are free. 231-947-4230
