Why Celebrate Old New Year?

Across Eastern Europe, many communities celebrate the New Year twice: once on January 1st and again on the “Old New Year,” a tradition created during the calendar change more than a century ago.
This second New Year offers a playful reset: a fresh opportunity for wishes, dreams, and good intentions to come to life. If January 1st didn’t deliver the magic you hoped for… the Old New Year is your second launchpad.

Why “Emergency”?

Because the world is calling for more joy, more unity, and more presence than ever.
This year’s theme ”Emergency” is our creative response to global heaviness. 

"The world is experiencing an emergency need—a need for joy, a need for music, and a need for community and celebration."

Instead of answering alarms, we answer with dancing. Instead of succumbing to stress, we answer with connection. And instead of giving into fear, we ignite collective magic.Our MCs step into the role of magicians, guiding a night charged with wonder. The performers, singers, and musicians bring an extraordinary energy designed to uplift the room and send a wave of positivity out into the world.

Introducing CHERVONA ORKESTAR

This year, Chervona expands into an extra-extended ensemble of outstanding musicians and singers, performing under a special name inspired by Eastern European tradition:

CHERVONA ORKESTAR

In many Eastern European countries, large, high-powered musical ensembles are known as “Orkestars.” This year, Chervona is rising to that scale—bringing a bigger sound, a fuller brass section, richer vocal harmonies, and an electric stage presence unlike anything seen before at this event.

This is not just a concert; it’s a supercharged musical celebration.

Also featuring DJ Jedi discotheque, delivering the best mix of old favorites and modern hits to keep the dance floor alive all night.

About Chervona

Chervona is Portland’s iconic international folk-dance party machine, known for its explosive blend of European pop, American jazz, punk, disco, ska with Romani and Klezmer folk traditions. 

With it’s soulful brass and driving rhythms, the band fuses old-world authenticity with new-world energy. Wherever Chervona performs, the moment transforms into celebration.

Old New Year 2026 - Emergency - Chervona Orchestra and All-Stars

  • Chervona

    Music

    "Chervona" - International Nuclear Powered Folk (Gypsy, Klezmer, Dixieland, Polka, Swing, Ska, Punk) band and ultimate dance party machine.

    Mixing together taste and passion of the best Gypsy, Russian, Ukrainian, Klezmer and Balkan musical traditions, Chervona brings the fire of Eastern European carnivals to the land of America.

    With their authenticity and genuine fire Chervona has stolen many hearts. Shining with their brass section and capturing soul with the traditional sounds of the old world and new interpretations, Chervona transforms a celebration into an ultimate party! Make sure to wear comfortable shoes and pretty underwear - Chervona's parties are known for people dancing all night and taking off their clothes!

    The band started practicing in Nov of 2006, and within first weeks of its existence they played at "Gypsymania" - gypsy dance discotheque created by Gogol Bordello's debaucher D.J. Dimon. After their first public appearances they rapidly gained popularity in the home town. As an addition to countless street performances Chervona have played quite a few big stages. Among them Slavic Festival and Oregon Country Fair, Red Marines festival in California, April Fool's Day Carnival, Revolution Party in Portland,Folk Life festival in Seattle. In 2007 Chervona played some special appearances with world famous Manu Chao and Gogol Bordello.

    What does Chervona mean? It means 'red' and/or 'beautiful' in Ukrainian and Polish. Examples: Chervona mashina - red car Chervona vino - red wine Chervona devchina - beautiful girl Chervona bombina - hot mama.

    Who is Chervona? This unique multicultural ensemble has Russian, Armenian, Jewish, Italian, Brazilian, German, Argentinean and Kazakhstan roots. Three of the band members are immigrants from former USSR and the rest of them were born in USA. . Chervona repertoire includes traditional hits from late 19th century with Gypsy/Russian and Eastern European flavor but not limited only to it. They easily assimilate music of different cultures and write their own songs too.

    Currently Chervona is working on the material for the first album. They also were invited to participate in independent movie with soon to be classic song "Chervona Wine". They are very busy playing shows all over the North West.
