Buffalo’s Polonia has certainly changed over the decades, but the scattered members of its diaspora still gather there annually to celebrate their shared Polish heritage on Dyngus Day. While that ever-growing party—dubbed the “Largest Dyngus Day Celebration in the World”—is still a month away, this Saturday (Feb. 23) offers locals a more intimate but equally entertaining taste of Polish culture in a benefit for this year’s Dyngus Day Parade. Buffalo polka legend Gino Kurdziel will take the stage at the Dnipro Ukranian Center (562 Genesee St.), along with the Buffalo Bells Orchestra. Save the pussy willows and water guns, but be sure to bring your appetite. There’ll be plenty of great food provided by K Sisters, Ulrich’s Tavern, Bistro Europa and Melanie’s Sweets, as well as craft beer from Flying Bison Brewery. It gets started at 7pm.
