What an incredible weekend it was at Corpus Christi Church with its 33rd Annual Dożynki Polish Harvest Fest!
It was truly a celebration of the church’s renaissance and the neighborhood’s heritage.
It wasn’t that long ago Corpus Christi almost closed. Now it serves as a symbol for the neighborhood that B-F is still alive.
The festival has grown to be the largest summer festival in Historic Polonia. Dożynki’s Buffalo’s Best Pierogi Contest is now a premiere food event in WNY…drawing a record 41 contestants.
All of it because of the hard work and dedication of the wonderful parishioners of Corpus Christi who refused to let this East Side treasure fade away.

Dozynki needs some better beer. Flying Bison 716 or Rusty Chain woulds have been great.
This could be the event of the week.
Agreed. At least a few varieties of Polish beer. I am not a big fan of Tyskie.
Better urban marketing as well. The place should have been crawling with Elmwood hipsters looking for some old time Buffalo fun. Time to transition from the Cheektowaga experience.
And work with the Council member and the City to do a neighborhood clean up the week before.
we should buy up the houses on both adjoining streets of the church, then knock them down, everybody wins!
