Cedar Polka Fest Announces Partnership With Bell’s Brewery

One of the biggest breweries in Michigan is lending its stamp of approval to one of Leelanau County's biggest events.

The Cedar Polka Festival announced on Friday that it had struck “an exciting new partnership” with Bell’s Brewery, the Kalamazoo-based beer brand known for popular Michigan-made beers like Two Hearted Ale, Oberon, and Lager for the Lakes. Under the partnership, Bell’s will deliver an exclusive beer to serve as the official beer of this year’s Polka Fest.

“Together, we've crafted something special just for you: the official ‘Lager for the Polka,’” the Polka Fest shared in a social media post last week. “This crisp, refreshing brew is designed to be the perfect companion for all your dancing, celebrating, and memory-making at the 2025 Cedar Polka Fest.”

This year’s 43rd annual Cedar Polka Fest is scheduled to take place from Thursday, August 21 through Sunday, August 24.
