The Dyngus Day Buffalo festival and parade will once again herald in the light of springtime as we bid farewell to the darkness of winter. As we celebrate the reawakening of the world we welcome the new season in a way that only Buffalonians can. With the splashing of water and the spanking of pussy willow branches and a proud procession through historic Polonia. Floats resembling medieval ships, fire trucks with sirens blazing and hoses squirting, polka bands blaring and families sharing memories and laughter as they stroll through the neighborhood tossing candy and beads to the little urchins gathered on the curbs. Who doesn’t like a parade? Not anyone that has ever been to the Dyngus Day Parade in Buffalo NY, that’s for sure.
