Did
you dance a polka last night? You should at least listen to this music!
July
25: St. Anne’s Eve
The Vigil of
St. Anne’s Day was a great celebration for matchmaking and debutante balls.
Both Johann
Strausses composed “Anne Polkas” for these festivals.
Following an
old saying that “All Annes are beautiful,” these events would be called
a “Festival of All Annes” meaning of all beautiful ladies.
Fireworks would
light the summer sky, and music and dancing would fill the air.
