Short’s Fest 2025
June 7 @ 1:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Summer starts here. Join us for the 14th annual Short’s Fest—an all-day celebration of beer, music, and good vibes in Elk Rapids.
Saturday, June 7 | 1 PM – 10 PM
Free • All Ages • Family Friendly
We’re talking two bars with 20+ Short’s Brews and Starcut Ciders on tap, killer live music, and local food trucks slinging delicious eats from start to finish.
We’ve got the line up nailed down and can’t wait to jam:
1:30–3:00 — Kanin Wren’s Taylor Swift Experience
3:30–4:00 — Shortstop
4:15–5:15 — BH&TC
5:30–7:30 — Stonefolk
8:00–9:30 — Lil Dippers
Bring your camp chairs, your dancing shoes, and your VIP Party Pint (Don’t worry, we’ll have some for sale at the party if you don’t have one yet).
Well-behaved doggos are welcome, but fair warning: there will be loud music, big crowds, and yes—flamethrowers.
No tickets. No fuss. Just one unforgettable kickoff to summer.
