Polka, Polka, Polka
Aug. 20, 2022
Every time we think of the Cedar Polka Fest, we think of John Candy’s brief and glorious cameo in Home Alone as the band leader of the Kenosha Kickers, aka the Polka King of the Midwest. There’s no doubt his character would have loved a chance to play at Cedar’s annual festival, happening this week Aug. 25 through Aug. 28. It’s a big milestone—the 40th anniversary—and thousands of folks will be turning out for live polka music, great food, and plenty of family fun. Some of our favorite activities are the Run 4 the Kielbasa 4K race, the classic car and motorcycle show, and the Polka Fest Parade. Admission is $10 Thursday through Saturday (with a $5 early-bird option on Saturday for Kids’ Day) and free for all on Sunday, which is also your chance to check out the on-site craft fair and farmers market. Find all the fun at 3075 E Sullivan St. in Cedar, and get the full schedule at cedarpolkafest.org.
