It also isn’t Oktoberfest with out polkas, oom-pahs & chicken dancing! Last year’s musical entertainment was provided by:
Western Senators:
Music for the first weekend, the Western Senators returned for more rollicking polkas, oom-pah and western swing from our Canadian neighbors. If you attended last year’s Great Northwest Oktoberfest you know how much fun they are. For info on the Western Senators got to: http://www.westernsenators.com/.
Europa:
Music for weekend #2 was provided by Europa. Specializing in European folk music these guys will have your toes tapping until you can’t help but get out on the dance floor. They played Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings. Check out the band and their music at: http://www.theeuropaband.com/
Bavarian Echoes:
The Flathead Valley’s own Bavarian Echoes played each Saturday afternoon of Oktoberfest. They know how to get Oktoberfest warmed up with their great Oom-pahs and Polkas and always blow the crowd away with their authentic alpine horns.
