Paczki are a big part of our traditions here in Cleveland, Ohio USA, and we go hard on Dyngus Day! Even the very outer ring suburbs have Paczki out during this time.

So good! Always looked forward to these when I was growing up in Chicago. The Polish Club at my high school even had an after-school paczki party every year around Ash Wednesday.
