Inaugural Traverse City Mural Festival

Six walls. One creative week.

The TC Mural Festival, led by volunteers on the Traverse City Arts Commission, aims to contribute to the vitality of the Grand Traverse region through artful placemaking opportunities that build on the community’s cultural resources. The inaugural TC Mural Festival is scheduled for September 12-17, 2025, and will take place in the NoBo neighborhood’s Eighth Street corridor from Lake Avenue to Barlow Street.

A week-long public art and mural festival, the TC Mural Festival will elevate community values, stimulate dialogue between people of all ages and abilities, inspire the mind and senses by creating an unexpected aesthetic experience, and enliven the appearance and appeal of this well-traveled community.
