TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. (AP) — The National Cherry Festival in Traverse City has been canceled for 2020 due to uncertainty over the coronavirus.
It's been a major northern Michigan summer destination for decades. Organizers said they're not confident that it would be safe to gather during the first week of July. The event coincides with July 4 and is a major tourist draw.
It features parades, fireworks, concerts, farm tours, a carnival midway and pie-eating contests. Area hotels are packed. The U.S. Navy Blue Angels put on an air show.
