Downtown and Old Town shopping in Traverse City is about more than acquiring goods – it’s about walking up and down tree-lined streets and stopping to browse, carefully examining every item in shop windows and admiring the Victorian details of the buildings.

You'll find more than 100 specialty stores selling clothing, furniture, art, music, sporting goods, foods, cameras, books, bicycles, eye wear, jewelry, stationary, tobacco, kitchen accessories, toys, kites, antiques and more!

Landmarks of a former time are also a part of downtown shopping day. Enjoy the beauty of the restored City Opera House on Front Street or the uniqueness of the city's original fire station.

Take advantage of free parking at the Larry C. Hardy Parking Deck on the east end of downtown after 5 p.m. Mondays- Fridays and on weekends every month of the year except in July and August.
