The Party

Polkawagen always brings fun to parties for guests young and old with family-friendly comedy, entertainment, and their characteristic mixture of festive music!

To make the most of the celebration, we provide guests with a quick polka dance lesson, plus assist with Bavarian themed games such as Masskrugstemmen (stein holding contest), Hammerschlagen or Nagelbalken (hammer striking game), sausage-eating / pretzel-eating contest, Oktoberfest trivia competition, and other übergeschnappt Spiele (crazy games).

Whatever the event, Polkawagen is prepared to entertain anywhere from a small intimate party celebration in your home to a sizable outdoor Oktoberfest event.
