Leelanau News and Events

Your Local Summer Fun Guide

June 7, 2021

Northport Music In The Park, Cedar Polka Fest and more beloved Leelanau summer events are back in 2021, and the Northern Express — sister publication of the Leelanau Ticker — has your guide to an action-packed season.

In this week's issue of the Express, a summer 2021 Mega-Music Guide hightlights live music events happening across northern Michigan, from Northport Music in the Park to Charlevoix Live on the Lake to festivals including Hoxeyville, Cedar Polka Festival, Beaver Island Music Fest, and more. Live, in-person races are also back this summer, and the 2021 Summer Races guide has a full calendar of events for runners, cyclers, and more. Finally, don't miss the Beers of Summer - the local brews you'll want to be packing in the boat cooler this year - and the Super Summer Checklist full of ideas to get in touch with your inner kid during the hot weather, from ziplining to hammock camping to exploring local waterways on see-through kayaks.

Northern Express is available to read online, or pick up a free copy at one of nearly 700 spots in 14 counties across northern Michigan.
