Polka Fest is underway in Cedar.
Organizers estimate more than 10,000 people come to the small community in Leelanau County for the annual event.
In recent years, the festival has faced cancellation. But in December it signed an agreement with Solon Township for the fees it pays clearing the way for Polka Fest to proceed.
