Come celebrate Dyngus Day with Bloomington Brewing Company and the Bufoonski Brothers Polka Party Band! Monday, April 1, 2024, 6 - 9 pm. $5 at the door. All ages are welcome, pups are allowed (outside only). Come hungry for Speakeasy Pizza food truck!!! The BBC Beer truck will have the full range of BBC Beers, and we're bringing back the keg gaga ball pit!  

The Bufoonski Brothers are Kevin MacDowell (AKA Kid Kazooey), Tim Moore (of Salaam), Joe Donnelly (of many local bands, and Jackson Creek Middle Schooler's favorite band teacher), and Forrest Means (who has played with the Lawrence Welk band before - and that's all you need to know!). The Polka brothers have invited special guest Addy Witkiewicz (AKA Addison Rogers of Busman's Holiday), WFHB's favorite late-night polka-playing DJ, as emcee!

This year Dyngus Day is on April Fools' Day, so come and make a fool of yourself in like-minded company! Since it is one week before the much-anticipated Total Solar Eclipse, the band has worked out arrangements for your favorite eclipse-themed polkas! The band will have other tricks up their sleeve that require the drummer bringing his 5 foot gong! 

You won't want to miss it!

Prepare by stretching before you join us, and get ready to participate in beloved recess activities like kickball and dodgeball, plus giant lawn games and more!

If games aren't your thing, drop by the craft station or sing along to your favorite tunes from the 80s and 90s, all while savoring a beer from Bloomington Brewing Company.
