A large portion of South Central Pennsylvania was settled by German
immigrants. A popular celebration is Oktoberfest. This is a
traditional harvest festival to celebrate the bounty of the
earth and the goodness of creation. During this time, many
get-togethers are held and the popular dance is the polka.
The polka is also a fun dance at weddings and parties.
Pennsylvania has it's very own Polka.
Below are some of the lyrics
The Pennsylvania Polka
Strike up the music
The band has begun
The Pennsylvania Polka
Pick out your partner
And join in the fun
The Pennsylvania Polka
It started in Scranton
It's now Number one
It's fun to entertain ya
Everybody has a mania
To do the polka from Pennsylvania
