A cherry good place to be in July

The ‘World’s Biggest Cherry Blossom Festival’ is being held in Traverse City, Michigan between July 4-11, 2009.

Each July harvest, some half a million people attend activities of the eight-day cherry festival on the pristine shore of the West Grand Traverse Bay. The festival hosts more than 150 activities for the entire family, including three grand parades, sporting events, band competitions, big name entertainment, air shows and the crowning of the queen. ‘Cherry activities’ include cherry tasting, cherry pie eating contests, orchard tours, the Very Cherry Luncheon, and a cherry farm market. A giant fireworks display over West Grand Traverse Bay closes the festival.
