The tribute will be heartfelt for his brother, Joe Stanky, who noted, “All the featured bands will be coordinating a tribute to my brother, John.” Thom Greco added, “We have presented John Stanky and the Coalminers at several of our Polkafests and it will be an honor to celebrate John Stanky this year.”

Joe Nardone Sr. said, “Looking forward to the tribute to John Stanky and the Coalminers – people travel from New York, New Jersey, all around Pennsylvania and there is a bus coming from Binghamton.” Jim Della Croce added, “Jimmy Sturr has been the top polka artist, and it is appropriate for this #1 Polka Star in America to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary and pay tribute to the superstar legend, John Stanky.”
Polkafest debuted in 2023 and has grown steadily, with more than 500 guests attending last year. Presented by the non-profit Wilkes-Barre Metro Development Corporation, Pennsylvania Polkafest is co-produced by Greco’s Rittenhouse Entertainment, Joe Nardone’s Magnus Concerts, and Jim Della Croce’s Pathfinder Productions.
