Become polka fest.
Thought I was going to hear some Halloween music,and ended up hearing the song roll out the barrel ,and a few other polka songs.
Shouldn't the name be changed to polka fest,so it doesn't confuse others thinking the same thing I thought I was going to hear?
Oktoberfest=Halloween,not polka.

The folk festival has given its name to similar festivals worldwide that are at least in part modeled after the original Bavarian Oktoberfest. Oktoberfest is known as much for its traditional folk music as it is for its beer drinking. Popular and folk music, marches, and polkas make up the oompah music Germany is stereotypically famous for around the world. As the evening wears on, the music becomes louder and more and more people begin to sing, linking arms and swinging beer mugs from side to side, some standing and swaying and dancing on benches or tables. Before each break, the band will offer up "ein Prosit der Gemütlichkeit", a toast to contentment, congeniality, and relaxation.
German folk music is not the only sound you will hear emanating from the massive beer tents. International hits like "New York, New York", "Country Road", "YMCA" and even disco- and rock-inspired tunes emanate from the beer tents. Still, you won't have to look far to find a brass band pumping out a German drinking song: Eins … zwei … g'suffa! Prost!
I suggest you do your research on OKTOBERFEST....and it's spelled with K because it's German for October....yeah I know far stretch right?

I don't think Oktoberfest has much to do with Halloween, other than it is the same month. Sad that you didn't enjoy the festivities. So what is Halloween music other than Thriller or Monster Mash? Yes, what do you consider Halloween music, rocket? |

So goes the old adage, "You learn something new every day." I could see where someone not familiar with Oktoberfest would assume it meant something else. Now you know though. Good luck finding a festival celebrating Halloween. I bet there are a lot out there. Have fun Rocket. |
