Celebrating Dyngus Day, a Buffalo, N.Y., Tradition by Dina Temple-Raston
All Things Considered, April 18, 2006 · For more than 40 years, the Monday after Easter has been known as Dyngus Day in Buffalo, N.Y. It's a post-Lent day of dancing, beer, Polish sausages and an odd courting ritual that brings revelers in search of true love.
14th annual "pre-Dyngus" and 17th annual Dyngus Day party. Featured polka music by Eddie Biegaj & Crusade, Lenny Gomulka & "Chicago Push" and Buffalo's Phocus.
