A Polka Festival?
Of course, there is polka music and dancing!
And
there's even a parade, races, tent vendors selling handicrafts and
food, street dancing, bands, and other live entertainment. There's a
coronation of the festival king and queen. It's out in the street and
it's in community halls. Rain or shine, people come to watch and
dance and march and eat!
Every
Memorial Day weekend, the city of Ennis, Texas, holds a polka
festival. It got started in 1967 and is a celebration of Czech
culture. It's one of the largest festivals of its kind in the U.S.,
attracting about 50,000 people each years.
Do
you polka?
This
vigorous dance is really fun!
Note: They start actually dancing at the minute mark!
Here
is a group polka dance.
I
can't link to polka without including the silly Weird Al polka medleys. Listen for songs you know in their rock (non-polka)
versions!
