Every year the Great Lake State, Michigan, hosts the National Cherry Festival in Traverse City. This festival has over 150 events and fun, unique traditions including pit-spitting, pie-eating contests, turtle races and more. This year, they’ll be encouraging local homes to “join” the festival and present a porch parade.
Recreate the Cherry Festival in your own backyard: get the family together and make your own porch parade. Find some crafts to do with your family and colorful cherry-themed decorations to make your porch pop and celebrate from your porch or backyard just like the locals in Traverse City.
Go the extra mile by hosting a cherry pie eating contest and inviting your circle to compete. Cherries are in season from May to August, making summer the perfect time to learn how to bake this treat on your own. Be sure to pick up fresh cherries, find your favorite recipe and enjoy this delicious classic!
