National Polka Festival

The National Polka Festival is an annual parade and festival held in Ennis, Texas celebrating the Czech heritage in the city. The 3-day festival is held every Memorial Day weekend. Most of the party halls offer a lunch or dinner with Czech foods such as klobase (sausage), sauerkraut, and kolache, as well as live entertainment with traditional polka music and dancing.

==History==
The National Polka Festival started in 1967 when a group of men, Raymond Zapletal, Len Gehrig, and Joe Liska, all of Ennis, came together to honor the city's strong Czech heritage. The men had been to other cities and seen the large response to polka bands from the people of Czechoslovakian descent. They believed the people could be brought to Ennis for the same reasons. They needed approval from the Chamber of Commerce before they could begin the festival. The Chamber of Commerce Manager, Jack McKay, agreed that the idea could greatly benefit Ennis and the Czechoslovakian community in the area and approved of the festival. The festival began as a celebration in several fraternal halls in the beginning, but grew to a parade and street festival the next few years. The festival was a huge success in just a few years, with over 30,000 visitors attending the parade.
