In Traverse City, there's always a cherry on top. Booming with a consistent harvest of sweet cherries, the Cherry Capital of the World lives up to its name with festivals, events, and unique treats featuring this delicious fruit all year long.

For starters, T.C. residents show off their vibrant crops at the annual National Cherry Festival, an 8-day Traverse City affair that explodes with tasty tarts and chariots of cherries. And in 2008, local shop Moomers Homemade Ice Cream made a Cherries Moobilee flavor that won "America's Best Scoop" by ABC's Good Morning America. Moomers was also voted USA Today's Best Ice Cream Parlor in 2016. Sign us up!

Your fellow neighbors are so committed to their cherry scene, in fact, that they crafted the largest cherry pie on the planet! The memory of Traverse's 28,350-lb, Guinness-World-Record-winning wonder lives on through the 17-foot pan that held it, which remains on display in front of the Sara Lee bakery.

Once you're ready to settle into your new home with a slice of local cherry pie, secure your place with an offer that's just as sweet. ADT provides 24/7 protection with continuous monitoring of security equipment such as security cameras, motion detectors, and smoke alarms, plus smartphone control of your system.

Of course, Traverse City isn't all about delectable small red fruits. Traverse also boasts a flourishing arts community and stunning views of Grand Traverse Bay, so take a stroll through a gallery or enjoy a day by the waterfront to soak in your new Michigan hometown.
