Support Polka Music by attending the last surviving Polka "Beach" Festival in the United States!

Thanks for Making Polkamotion 2012 a Success!

Polkamotion by the Ocean 2012 will certainly go down as a most memorable event! From September 13 through 16, record crowds of enthusiastic polka fans poured into the Rehoboth Beach Convention Center and danced, ate, and drank for four fun-filled days! Thursday night's crowd was the best yet for that day since Polkamotion moved to Rehoboth Beach while Friday and Saturday nights brought in large, festive audiences. The spectacular weather provided perfect beach days all week. Sincere thanks go out to all the members of The Nu Tones, Polka Family, Lenny Gomulka and Chicago Push, Henny & The Versa J's, Eddie Forman Orchestra, The Boys, the IPA Tribute Band, Jimmy Weber and The Sounds, Dennis Polisky and the Maestro's Men, and the Tommy Thomas Trio who performed so admirably. Hats off to "Jolly Rich" Anton who coordinated the Annual Polkamotion Open Golf Tournament, and all the hard-working volunteers who helped conduct the Wednesday night DJ party, and staffed the door, bar, and kitchen in the hall. Our loyal ticket sellers and promoters, and many polka DJs, IJs, and reporters did a great job publicizing the event. Plus, we can't say enough about the helpful convention hall staff. Most of all, our hearts go out to all the wonderful folks who traveled from near and far to make our 33rd Polkamotion by the Ocean a resounding success. From the first drive of the golf tournament on Wednesday morning to the last polka played in the hall on Sunday afternoon, folks just seemed to joyfully soak up the experience at this polka panacea by the sea.

As Polkamotion by the Ocean in Rehoboth Beach, DE continues to grow, we're all the more encouraged and eager to start the work in making next year's polka fest even better. So folks, please mark these dates on your calendars: September 12 - 15, 2013, and plan to grace us with your company again, won't you? We promise another stellar polka band line-up, delicious home-made Polish-American food, all your favorite refreshing libations, and a cozy, family-friendly atmosphere, all at affordable prices.

It was a true joy to share the company of such dear polka people! Hope to see you at our 34th Polkamotion by the Ocean!

God bless!
