I'd never heard of Dyngus Day until I was well into adulthood. As the Wikipedia article mentions, there's a large Polish population in Cleveland, and several neighborhoods celebrate Dyngus Day, with the biggest celebration being in Gordon Square. I've always kind of wanted to go (in the past though, I was always working the Monday after Easter), and I considered going down to Gordon Square today to experience a Cleveland Dyngus Day celebration...but apparently they're charging $12 just for the "privilege" of standing around with a bunch of people, eating pierogis and listening to polka bands. I can watch polka performances on You Tube and there's some Mrs. T's pierogis in the freezer that I'll probably heat up for dinner tonight.
