CLE Dyngus Day

Dyngus Day, or Wet Monday (Polish Smigus-Dingus or lany poniedzialek) is the name for Easter Monday. Historically a Polish tradition, Dyngus Day celebrates the end of the observance of Lent and the joy of Easter.

Dyngus Day has become a wonderful holiday to celebrate Polish-American culture, heritage and traditions. In Cleveland specifically, our goal is to not only make this a Polish Cultural festival, we also want to celebrate our Polka Heritage as well as the other Eastern European cultures still thriving in Cleveland.

With over 10 years of history in Cleveland Dyngus Day continues to grow each year in the Gordon Arts District, with polka dancing, live music and entertainment, great food and beer vendors. In 2019, 45,000 people celebrated Dyngus Day Cleveland across the city.
