The antique village is very cute and the grounds are well maintained. I have been here for the fair many times and also quite a few weddings. The best part of a wedding at the fairgrounds is that it is very easy for guests to stay in the camp grounds the night before and after the reception, makes for a fun wedding weekend.

Cold beer and traditional smoked meats (by way of sausages of various types) await you. High heels or tennis shoes, just be sure to bring your polka-purposes self to one of the best local festivals in northwestern lower Michigan. Held each year during the Fourth of July, the Village of Cedar offers the best chance to twist, turn and twirl to the catchy tunes of ole' Eastern Europe. Percussion, cymbals and the ubiquitous accordion set your feet a tappin' and bring on a thirst and desire to dance that only the Cedar Polka Fest can cure.

Every summer, I look forward to the Traverse City Film Festival (often referred to fondly as TCFF…read morein my family). Without a doubt, this is one of the most amazing events of the year in an already beautiful city. Even though Michael Moore is one of the founders, this film festival has proven to be incredibly diverse in its selection. The movies range from comedy to drama, action to horror. There are documentaries that will open your eyes to a whole new walk of life, there are moves that make you think about where your life is going. Some movies will make you laugh one minute, and have you in tears the next. Some might think, so why TCFF over Cannes or Sundance? Traverse City is just a normal town, with normal people. You don't need to be a celebrity to get tickets, or even to see other celebrities. There are events all over town, including places for children to go while the adults attend movies. There are panels, consisting of some of the directors, producers and actors in the movies, helping answer some pressing questions. The first year of the film festival, there was a fear that it would have the theme of "Bowling for Columbine" or "Farenheit 911", but I have gone for 5 years and never seen a political film (by choice). Between the FREE movies at the Open Space (including the Dark Knight and Mrs. Doubtfire), and the vast array of movies, this festival is definitely a family fun vacation and an educational experience! Five stars isn't enough!

For a small Irish festival, the Michigan Irish Festival feels big. We come yearly for the music…read more Various area businesses sponsor bands to come and play, and they get some big names in the Irish world of music. I was ecstatic to see Slide again this year:) If you go to Irish festivals for beer, you won't be disappointed either because there are plenty of places to buy a pint. You can also purchase Irish goods, as well as Irish goodies. I don't know how Irish it was, but I got the best homemade pretzel I've ever had at the festival. There is also a park with a play structure for the kids if they get tired of travelling from one music tent to the next (which mine always do). I highly recommend the festival.
