Dyngus Day, the annual post-Lenten bash, attracts tens of thousands to Buffalo, New York to celebrate spring, show Polish pride, flirt with pussy willows and listen to the best polka bands in the nation. And now an annual event here in the Phoenix area celebrating their 5th anniversary event “The Polish Home of Phoenix” The Pulaski Club located at 4331 E. McDowell Rd, Phoenix, AZ, 85008 (602) 275-9329. When is Dyngus Day 2011? Dyngus Day falls on the first Monday after Easter. In 2011, Dyngus Day will take place at The Pulaski Club onApril 25, 2011, music from6pm to9pm with plenty of food and Polka music by the Varitones Band.
WHAT IS DYNGUS DAY? Historically a Polish-American tradition, Dyngus Day celebrates the end of the often restrictive observance of lent and the joy of Easter. Over the decades, Dyngus Day has become a wonderful holiday to celebrate Polish-American culture, heritage and traditions. WHERE IS DYNGUS DAY CELEBRATED? Buffalo, New York is officially the Dyngus Capital of America with the largest concentration of festival locations and live polka music. Smaller festivals can be found in community with sizable Polish-America populations such as South Bend, Indiana, Chicago, Illinois, Elizabeth, New Jersey, Bristol, Connecticut, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and now Phoenix, Arizona.
HOW TO CELEBRATE DYNGUS DAY? As the popular polka anthem explains, “Everybody’s Polish on Dyngus Day!” Many parties begin during the mid-morning on the Monday after Easter with a large buffet of traditional Easter foods (kielbasa, ham, fresh breads, and eggs). It is common to hear polka music on Dyngus Day with the mandatory dancing of at least one polka. Many parties continue well into daylight on Tuesday. (A tip to the first time Dyngus participant….take Tuesday off from work.)
PUSSYWILLOWS OR WATER? This is a yearly debate among Dyngus Day revelers. The tradition holds true that on Easter Monday boys would sprinkle the girls with water and tap them with pussy willows. On Easter Tuesday, the women would return the favorite. At modern Dyngus Day parties it is common practice that both men and women trade water and pussy willow equally. For more information on Dyngus Day celebrations go to www.dyngusdaybuffalo.comAPR. 9TH, WHITE EAGLE RESTAURANT 5 – 8PM.
