Dec 31 - Jan 1    New Year's Eve @ DANK Haus
Sliding into 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?
 
Making a special appearance this year is the Mardi Gras Society’s Prinzenpaar, Prinz Christopher I and Prinzessin Kimberly.  Expect a grand entrance of this colorful duo, charged with getting the party started and infusing all with the spirit of Karneval.

Welcoming 2015 at DANK Haus will also not break your bank and we are selling bottles of German bubbly (750 ml bottle) for only $30. Tables will have plenty of hats, tiaras, and noisemakers.  Look for our signature cocktail - The Silvesterball, specially priced.

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.
Presales at http://www.brownpapertickets.com
All tickets at the door are $25.            Attendees must be 21 years and older!
