in a blaze of sequins, guitars and flaming punch!
Ringing
in the new year accompanied by The Polkaholics has become a tradition on New
Years Eve at DANK Haus.
The Polkaholics' repertoire is filled with songs that are all about FUN! Their
glittery outfits and wild showmanship create an unforgettable party atmosphere.
The songs are a collision of polka and punk and will make you sing along to
tunes while dancing your shoes off.
And what would be a New Years Eve party at the DANK without the traditional
Feuerzangenbowle. Arrive early and you will see a tasting of a sugar cone
soaked in rum, lit on fire and melted over a spice wine. Did anybody say
vorglühen?
Welcoming 2014 at DANK Haus will also not break your bank and we are selling
bottles of German bubbly (750 ml bottle) for only $30.
Moment mal, there's more! Each entrance includes raffle ticket to win an
Epiphone guitar from The Polkaholics!
Early bird tickets are $10.00 for the first 200 guests, then only $20.00
thereafter.
