Another Cherry Royale Parade is in the books, but the National Cherry Festival is not over yet! Park at Meijer or Northwestern Michigan College Maple Lot and take BATA's free Bayline to check out the Tom Petty Tribute Band and the fireworks to end the festival tonight. The Bayline will get you back to your car at the park-n-ride lots. Cherry On!
