We are in the southwest corner of Milwaukee’s Baird Center at 400 West Wisconsin Avenue. Push the button, hop on the polkalator, then watch 20 pictures of a polka dance at its crazy best go by, all the while listening to one of 200 randomly selected polka tunes, as you dance your way to your destination.
On Friday, August 18th, from 12.30 to 2PM, Milwaukee’s beloved polkalator will run for the very last time. At 2PM, there will be a short closing ceremony, honoring the dj’s who have been so essential to the project. The public is cordially invited.
