Dyngus Day - Polish Connections

Dyngus Day falls on the Monday after Easter. It's an American-Polish tradition that celebrates the end of Lent as well as Polish culture and heritage. Modern celebrations often include flirting by splashing people with water, smacking them with pussywillows, and indulging in Polish fare such as pierogies and vodka. Each year, Cleveland hosts a big festival, but Buffalo's celebration is the biggest in the US.
