CLEVELAND — Dyngus Day is back!
Each year, thousands of folks gather in Cleveland for Dyngus Day, a Polish holiday celebrated the day after Easter Sunday.
The annual celebration returned to Cleveland's Gordon Square Arts District at 5400 Detroit Avenue on Monday.
"Packed with authentic ethnic food, merch, beer, and dancing, Dyngus Day will be a city-wide celebration of Polish culture and traditions," according to event organizers.
