Dyngus Day
Also known as "that thing I didn't know about until my friend Marc woke me up on my High School Spring Break to splash me with water while my parents laughed".
Followed by it's sequel of "that time my friend Marc's coworker smacked him with a random tree branch because she didn't have any pussy willow branches".
In short, guys splash water on girls and girls bat at them with pussy willow branches. I will assume that this is all done with love.
Buffalo has such a huge Polish community that it is the Dyngus Day capitol of America.
Dyngus Day is a Polish holiday that has been making a comeback in the Buffalo area. It happens on the first Monday after Easter. There is an official site http://www.dyngusday.com and everything!
Everything... including a little story from 2012 about CNN's Anderson Cooper. Funny stuff.
But mostly it's a good time for friends and family to have fun.
There is a parade and a pub crawl. And by that I mean it is second only to St. Patrick’s day with all it’s party and happenings. It is definitely something to check out. The main parade starts at 5pm and it travels the Historic Polonia District. It begins at Corpus Christi Church; Ends at Buffalo Central Terminal.
The live events, what I call the pub crawl, starts as early as 8am at the Anchor. The events can end as late as... the next morning when everyone who doesn't get a spring break has to go back to work.
