Highlights
A Wedding on Stage
Becki Locke and James Sheehe tied the knot live on the Street Stage at 1:15 PM — the first-ever wedding at Dyngus Day Cleveland.
The Kishkas Debut
DJ Kishka's new band, The Kishkas, took the Street Stage for their debut set at 4:15 PM. The crowd went wild.
Expanded Footprint
For the first time, Detroit Ave closed from W. 54th through W. 58th — more room for polka, pierogi, and water fights than ever.
Polish Smoked Wheat at Forest City
Brewer Matt's one-day-only Polish-style beer with oak-smoked wheat malt. Free paczki from Kiedrowski's with every beverage.
Dyngus Day Honey Ale
Great Lakes Brewing tapped their annual Dyngus Day Honey Ale — brewed with honey, pink peppercorns, clove, ginger, and cinnamon.
Guardians Tie-In
The day after, the Cleveland Guardians hosted Dyngus Day at Progressive Field — red & white scarf giveaway and DJ Kishka around the bases.
Venue Recaps
Gordon Square Festival Grounds
Two stages, eight acts, one pierogi eating contest. The expanded footprint gave the crowd room to breathe (and dance).
Forest City Brewery
Brewer Matt's Polish Smoked Wheat was the surprise hit. Ed Klimczak Band 12–3, Frank Moravcik Band 4–7. Free paczki while they lasted (they didn't last long).
Great Lakes Brewing Co.
Dyngus Day Honey Ale on tap, Frank Moravcik Band, and a pierogi eating contest benefiting the Greater Cleveland Food Bank.
Schnitz Ale Brewery
Piwoski Polish Ale at $5 half-liters all day. Live accordion music and a full Polish food menu from Branka's Bake Haus.
PVA (Polish Veterans Alliance)
The most authentic Polish experience in Cleveland. Food, drinks, polka music, dancing — the real deal since 1930.
Happy Dog
Street Stage HQ. DJ Kishka's home base. The spiritual center of Cleveland Dyngus Day for 16 years running.
