Grand Traverse County

Today we celebrated what makes Grand Traverse County truly exceptional: our people.

This afternoon, employees from across Grand Traverse County came together at the Civic Center to celebrate their dedication to serving our residents and one another. Every day, our team works behind the scenes and on the front lines to make Grand Traverse County a great place to live, work, and play.

This year's celebration was especially meaningful as we also recognized two historic milestones: the 250th anniversary of the United States and the 100th anniversary of the National Cherry Festival. These anniversaries remind us that strong communities are built by people who choose to serve something bigger than themselves.

To every Grand Traverse County employee: thank you. Your professionalism, compassion, and commitment make a difference in the lives of thousands of residents every single day. We are proud of the work you do and honored to celebrate you.

Here's to our employees, our community, and the next chapter of serving Grand Traverse County together. 🇺🇸🍒

Wednesday, July 8th is Grand Traverse County's Day of Service and Celebration, honoring the 250th Anniversary of the United States and the 100th Anniversary of the National Cherry Festival. Limited staff will be working in the morning to allow for volunteering, and County offices will close at noon. Court offices and City of Traverse City offices will remain open. We'll be back to normal hours Thursday, July 9th. Thanks for your patience, and Happy Cherry Festival!🍒🎡
