Kat Paye, Cherry Festival

Kat Paye, Cherry Festival Executive Director. The National Cherry Festival is the ultimate celebration of cherries. It's held every year in July in the "Cherry Capital of the World"-Traverse City, Michigan. This festival originated from a spring ceremony known as the "Blessing of the Blossoms." Thousands of visitors come from all over the world to celebrate the harvest and, of course, eat cherries.
