The Yukon Czech Hall

If you’re from Yukon, chances are you’ve driven by the Czech Hall.  For those of us who are longtime Yukon residents you’ve almost certainly been to the Czech Hall for one of their infamous dance nights, a wedding reception or party. 

The Czech Hall was built in 1901 on land donated by local Czech immigrants.  The building is recognized as a State and National Historic Site.  Since its beginning, the Yukon Czech hall has been the center of Czech-American culture in Oklahoma as well as serving as a social center and meeting place for non-Czech residents in the surrounding community.  My own sister, Jaley, actually had her wedding reception there in 2005.  It was loads of fun with a dance floor that never ended.  Truly the dance floor is the largest in Oklahoma with 3400 square feet of hardwood flooring, perfect for sliding & twirling!

 

A polka dance has been held at the Yukon Czech Hall every Saturday night since 1930 and this continues today!  The dances are run by the voluntary efforts of the members of the lodge and are always open to the general public.  The two polka bands in the area, Masopust Polka Band and the Bohemian Knights, play for the dances.

The Yukon Czech hall is operated with the goal of preserving the Czech-American heritage.  Everyone is welcome at the weekly polka dances whether they are of Czech heritage or not.  Families are especially encouraged to attend.  They begin at 7pm every Saturday night and are truly a boisterous and lively adventure! 

For more information on activities and rental for the hall you may visit http://www.czechhall.com/Rentals.html 

The Czech Hall is located between NW 10th Street & Reno Ave on Czech Hall Road in Yukon at 205 N. Czech Hall Road. 

Just another great thing about Yukon’s unique history.  So make a plan to check out the Czech Hall!
