Happy Dyngus Day

HAPPY DINGUS DAY!!!
Happy Birthday, Steve McQueen



Dyngus Day, also spelled Dingus Day, is a Polish Holiday. It is always celebrated on the Monday after Easter It is very popular in Poland, and in Polish communities in America. After the long Lenten holiday, Dyngus Day is a day of fun. And, perhaps a little romantic fun. .
Boys/men would sprinkle the girls/women with water and and tap them with pussywillows.


There are only about 3 major cities in the US who make Dyngus Day a celebration and Buffalo is known as the dyngus day capital of the world. And here in Buffalo there are polkas to be danced, Polish sausage to be eaten, and beer to be drunk, so on with the celebration. Happy Dyngus Day!
