"Buffalo: the #1 Dyngus Day party in America!

"Nowhere else in the world will you find more pussy willows being plucked, polkas being played and more sausage being consumed than in Buffalo, New York. It was only natural that a city proud of its ethnic and blue-collar past would become known the “Dyngus Day Capital of the World!” Although celebrated by Polish youth since the 1870s, the modern Dyngus Day party was invented in Buffalo by the Chopin’s Singing Society in 1961. Both the Buffalo Bills and the Buffalo Sabres have created unique lines of Dyngus Day branded apparel."
