Dyngus Day

Another week, another bunch of people who think their iPhones make them professional photographers. This week, we’re rounding up your all-around best shots.

No Anderson Cooper. Lets see what he has to say about North America's largest Dyngus Day Party here in Buffalo this year. It continues to grow bigger and bigger. I'm 100 percent German, but, I'm sure like many, I find a way to be Polish on Dyngus Day (and I think I did the hokey pokey like 12 times yesterday, haha).

UPDATE: Whoops -- turns out this was a prank! Kudos to the perpetrator -- you totally got me! It's been a year since Anderson Cooper thought it was a joke that Buffalo is the home of the biggest Dyngus Day party in North America. Dyngus Day event planners have tried getting Cooper to come to Buffalo today to crown him the first ever Pussy Willow Prince. He did not respond to the request, but then,

Four full days (Thursday, July 19-Sunday, July 22) of everything Polish filled the air at Cheektowaga Town Park, including authentic Polish food, beer, music and even Polish heritage dancers.

I guess not everyone gets the fun and excitement that surrounds Dyngus Day. Anderson Cooper got into a giggle fit over the story in his show.

I remember when I was a kid sitting and listening to my grandpa tell me about Dyngus Day.  I thought it was just something old people did with pussy willows and squirt guns.  But it's not just for your parents anymore.

Happy Dyngus Day! To many people in Buffalo's Polish community, today is one of the most important days of the year. Dyngus Day is always the Monday after Easter. It's a day when Polish people take time to celebrate that Jesus has risen and that the sacrifices of the Lenten season are over with...

There are places in this country that observe it, but nobody celebrates it like we do in Buffalo.  It’s an old Polish tradition called Dyngus Day.  It commemorates the baptism of Poland's first Christian prince.  It always falls on the day after Easter with a big celebration of the end of lent with food and dancing.  The food includes a large bu...
