Magdalen Kleinrichert
Magdalen is the 2026-2027 National Cherry Queen. She is the daughter of Shane and Samantha Kleinrichert of Traverse City and a 2022 graduate of Traverse City St. Francis High School. She is in her final year at Ave Maria School of Law after earning her bachelor's degree in Managerial Economics.
As National Cherry Queen, Magdalen loves sharing her love for Northern Michigan, inviting others to experience the National Cherry Festival, and learning more about the cherry industry and its hardworking farmers.
A lover of tart cherries, Petoskey stones, M-22, and fresh water, she believes Traverse City is the cherry best place on Earth! Magdalen considers it a true honor to represent and advocate for the community she proudly calls home.
