In the early 1800s, the village now known as North Canton was called New Berlin. Settled largely by German-speaking families, New Berlin grew into a busy trading center with taverns, inns, wagon-makers, blacksmiths, and general stores.
The New Berlin Festival honors that heritage as thousands gather downtown to enjoy homemade German fare, live polka music, and seasonal beer.
Join us Saturday, Sept. 26, 2025, as we close Main Street, welcome back the Chardon Polka Band (4:00–7:00 PM) — the biggest and best polka band this side of the Tuscarawas — and raise a toast to our past. Parking available at the YMCA/Hoover District.

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”
