This site was created to assist you in your exploration of some of the best polka bands that are and were around. Unlike other sales sites which just present products for sale we are creating an interactive site where you can discover the stories, pictures and music of some of the best polka bands on this planet. Maybe even some videos. Join our mailing list and we will involve you in this interactive process. We will send you music reviews, new product announcements and let you know about happenings in the world of polka. Together we can live the polka experience.

If you are among the best polka bands and are not yet listed here, contact us and lets get you involved with this site. Similarly, if you have a polka event you would like to publicize (no charge) contact us and we will list it for you.

If you would like to order any of the products here and would rather talk to a live person rather than going thru the automated process, or if you have any problems in processing your order please call 905-325-3805. If the phone is not answered immediately we guarantee the call will be returned within 24 hours.

I wanted to draw your attention to this important petition that I recently signed:
"Help Kitchener-Waterloo Oktoberfest SAVE THE POLKA"
http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/savethepolka/
I really think this is an important cause, and I'd like to encourage you to add your signature, too. It's free and takes just a few seconds of your time.
NOTE:WHEN YOU COMPLETE THE PETITION YOU ARE ASKED FOR A DONATION - NOTE THAT THIS IS FOR IPETITIONS NOT ANYTHING TO DO WITH SAVING POLKAS - If you want to donate to ipetitions (and they do make it clear that that is what you are doing) then great, but I just want to make sure that you know that a)no donation is required in order to sign the petition and b)the donation goes solely to the people who run ipetitions.
