The Lake Vermilion Cultural Center will be hosting their second FINN-Toberfest on September 23, 2025 beginning at 5 pm with food and beverages followed by a musical and comedy performance by Steve Solkela and The Solkela Polkela Band. Steve says, “The Solkela Polkela Band was forged in the fires of necessity! In response to the relentless request by the masses for more Polka Bands.” Steve Solkela put together this wacky batch of misfit Iron Rangers and Twin Portsians. The band players are Steve Solkela on accordion and voice, Gena DeVaney on accordion, Dennis Jerrold on tuba, and Joe Anderson on percussion and sax. This four piece ensemble plays Classic Old Time music, as well as Polka Fusions of every genre. Get ready for endless comedy and fun while you dance along with their tunes. They will knock your socks off! Dancing is encouraged and all are welcome!

Brats, hotdogs, chips, dessert and beverages will be served. Doors will open at 5:00 pm. Music is from 5:30 until 7:30 pm. A free-will donation will be accepted at the door.
