Dyngus Day

End: Monday, April 6, 2026 9:00PM

Are you ready for Smigus-Dyngus? Dyngus Day, the Polish equivalent to Saint Patrick's Day, is a celebration of the end of Lent and the rebirth of spring. We plan on celebrating the good ol' Polish way with food, drinks, polka, pussy willows and water splashing! Join us for our 10th annual Dyngus Day celebration! Started as a grassroots effort by a passionate Polak and Buffalo native to bring Dyngus Day to DC. As always, there will be polish beer and food specials made by the amazing chefs at The Light Horse, which is a Buffalo Bills bar located on King St., only a short trolley ride or 20 minute walk from the King Street metro station. Live Polka courtesy of the Justin Paschalides Duo from 6:00 - 8:00 PM! So wear your red and bring your party hats. Let's make THIS YEAR the BIGGEST and BEST Monday holiday of the year!
