Fly Private to Traverse City, Michigan
Traverse City’s 16 000 residents host the Cherry Capital of the World where 75 percent of U.S. tart cherries grow nearby. Sleeping Bear Dunes sit less than an hour away.
Summer wine tours, Up North weddings and National Cherry Festival mania create 3 500 private flights at TVC. The team at Just Landed Jets books lakeside cottage docks and dune‑scooter rentals.
Fly Private to the National Cherry Festival in Traverse City
Fourth‑of‑July week paints Traverse City red for the National Cherry Festival, a pit‑spitting, air‑show‑flying tradition that dates back to 1925. Parades, orchard tours and craft‑beer events keep scenic bayside parks buzzing day and night.
The festival lures nearly 500 000 guests, ten times the town’s population, and drives TVC’s operations to summertime highs. Landing with Just Landed Jets secures hangar parking and quick‑turn fuel so you can sample cherry pie à la mode without missing the Blue Angels flyover. Our crew will even pack a flat of fresh Montmorency cherries for your galley.
Iconic Traverse City Eats: Must‑Try Local Cuisine for Private Jet Travelers
Cherry‑smoked whitefish, cherry‑BBQ pulled pork and cherry cider doughnuts abound, while vineyards pour cherry riesling. Our team can ensure you get there, so you can load cherry hand pies, smoked‑whitefish dip and cherry porter cans in your galley for a cherry‑red send‑off.
Apache Trout Grill — A True Traverse City Experience
Since 1994 this waterfront lodge smokes whitefish dip and grills maple‑glazed trout on a deck overlooking West Bay sunsets. A crackling fire warms cherry‑wood interiors come winter. Apache Trout Grill showcases Up‑North flavors that pair perfectly with local pinot noir.
Top Things to Do in Traverse City: Entertainment Near Your Jet
Cherry Capital living means vineyard tastings on Old Mission Peninsula and sailing across blue Torch Lake waters. Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore invites dune‑climb views ranked “most beautiful” by Good Morning America. Downtown theaters host film festival premieres curated by Michael Moore. Evenings end with lake‑view microbrewery sunsets.

Sleeping Bear Dune Climb — Traverse City’s 450‑foot sand summit
Race barefoot up towering quartz‑sand slopes then run, roll or cartwheel back down with Lake Michigan stretching turquoise to the horizon. Park rangers explain glacier‑carved geology while cherry orchards perfume the breeze. Climb is strenuous but short; picnic tables below reward repeat ascents. Remember shoes get buried quickly—bring old ones or embrace the barefoot life.
