Sept 27th 12pm to 7pm
NEW BERLIN FESTIVAL
In the early 1800's, the city now known as North Canton was previously a village called New Berlin. With mostly German speaking residents, New Berlin became a bustling trading center with several local Taverns, inns, wagon-makers, blacksmiths and general stores.
The New Berlin Festival pays homage to our past as thousands of local residents gather in the heart of the city to enjoy homemade German food, live Polka music and fall flavored beer.
Join us on Saturday, Sept 27 2025 join us as we shut down Main St, welcome back the biggest and best Polka Band (Chardon Polka Band 4 pm to 7 pm) this side of the Tuscarawas and say Prost to our past.
Parking available at the YMCA / Hoover District.

Live Polka / 4pm - 7pm
The Chardon Polka Band plays traditional polkas reminiscent of The Lawrence Welk Show, a style that has endeared them to traditional polka fans, but sometimes morphs into punk-rock renditions of the same songs, modified to bring in a younger audience.
They throw in comedic renditions of oddball favorites, bizarre audience participation songs, and even polka-rock covers of anything from Twisted Sister’s “We’re Not Gonna Take It” to Queen’s “Fat Bottomed Girls” to Lady Ga Ga’s “Bad Romance”
