The Lumpenball is the last of the last Parties of Fasching!
-and arguably the best of the Fashing Parties!
In German, Lumpen is translated as “rags” or “Ragamuffin”…. and a Ball is, well, a Ball, with dancing.
A Lumpenball, in translation, is a Ragamuffin Ball or a dress down to raggy clothing ball- no need to dress fancy ball.
Playing Live for the Liederkranz Lumpenball is Angie Kriz and The PolkaToons who plays mostly Czech polkas and waltzes, but also add lots of variety and fun to their parties! They are a three piece band consisting of primarily Angie on button accordion and vocals, Craig Falls on Tuba, and usually Justin Patrick on Drums
