Black Rock Advocate

"My neighbors here in this working class part of Buffalo, Black Rock, may some of them know I'm a poet, but it's the neighborhood which most defines us. What I can make clear is that I am not here in Black Rock to soak up that culture, etc. It's simply where I feel at home and where we live and have raised our son and daughter". Robert Creeley {1926-2005}

The Nickel City is indeed the Dyngus Day Capital of the World...no doubt!"

"In my travels and performances throughout the United States I have enjoyed the excitement of Dyngus Day in several cities and towns, however, no where is this holiday celebrated unilaterally and dynamically as it is in Buffalo, New York. The Nickel City is indeed the Dyngus Day Capital of the World...no doubt!" Lenny Gomulka, Polka Music Hall of Fame, Leader of Chicago Push, www.ChicagoPush.com

After a 20 year hiatus, Dyngus Day returns to the concourse of the Central Terminal! The parade, which begins at 5pm at the Broadway Market, will end at the terminal, where the merriment will ensue. If you don’t want to go to the parade, don’t worry, our doors will open at 5pm and the party will go on until 11pm.

“Those Idiots” and Lee Ron Zydeco will be providing the musical entertainment. Flying Bison will be offering a special Dyngus Day beer and Ulrich’s Bistro Europa and the K Sisters will be providing the food. Official Central Terminal merchandise will also be available.

Admission price is $8 and will get you into the parties at St. Stan’s and the Adam Mickiewicz Library and Dramatic Circle (Mickie’s) or free with proof of admission from either Mickie’s or St. Stan’s. Come on out and enjoy the party of the Spring. You don’t have to be Polish to enjoy the Dyngus Day tradition!
