This is a family friendly event that all can enjoy. Bundle up (it gets cold out there!) and bring the family to celebrate the New Year.

HISTORY
In 2008, a small group of Traverse City area residents got together and devised a way celebrate New Years Eve and give back to the community at the same time. In 2018, CherryT Board of Directors turned over the event to the Festival Foundation. A committee was then formed of former CherryT volunteers and many new volunteers from the Festival Foundation to work in conjunction to continue the great tradition that was started years ago!

The CherryT Ball Drop is an assumed name of The Festival Foundation, a 501(c)3 that will hold an annual New Year's Eve celebration. Funds raised through the CherryT Ball Drop supports local charities.

How much money has the CherryT Ball Drop raised?

The CherryT Ball Drop has raised nearly $127,000 to date for local nonprofits. Including $16,496 in 2022/2023 for Goodwill Northern Michigan and Northwest Food Coalition!

Donate

Unofficially, it is estimated that between 8,000 and 12,000 people will attend this event.
