Expanded Dyngus Day celebration returning to Gordon Square on April 10
have just announced that this year’s festivities will expand from last year. The celebration will once again take place at Gordon Green in the Gordon Arts District, but patrons will also be able to polka their way through W. 58th St., which will be closed off for vendor sales, and a large parking lot between Happy Dog and Angel Printing.Dyngus Day is the Polish holiday that falls on the Monday immediately after Easter.
This year's day-long celebration will feature polka dancing, the annual pierogi eating contest, the crowning of Ms. Dyngus Day, an amateur accordion contest and live entertainment.“Dyngus Day is a true city-wide celebration. It’s incredible to see the community’s commitment to showing up for beloved Polish traditions,” says organizer Adam Roggenburk, president of Heritage Productions in a press release.
Like they could in years past, festival-goers can enjoy Dyngus cheer at several neighborhood establishments too. “Dyngus Day is so cherished by our residents, and I’m especially proud that it was born right here in Gordon Square,” says Councilmember Jenny Spencer of Ward 15 in a statement. “I speak on behalf of the community when I say how thrilled I am that the vibrant celebration is back in the neighborhood for all to enjoy.”
Tickets are $16 and include access to two entertainment stages . A portion of 2023 event proceeds will go to local Cleveland charities.

Preference of CAMSAP3 for expanded microtubule lattice contributes to stabilization of the minus endCAMSAPs are proteins that show microtubule minus-end–specific localization, decoration, and stabilization. Although the mechanism for minus-end recognition via their C-terminal CKK domain has been well described in recent studies, it is unclear how CAMSAPs stabilize microtubules. Our several binding assays revealed that the D2 region of CAMSAP3 specifically binds to microtubules with the expanded lattice. To investigate the relationship between this preference and the stabilization effect of CAMSAP3, we precisely measured individual microtubule lengths and found that D2 binding expanded the microtubule lattice by ∼3%. Consistent with the notion that the expanded lattice is a common feature of stable microtubules, the presence of D2 slowed the microtubule depolymerization rate to ∼1/20, suggesting that the D2-triggered lattice expansion stabilizes microtubules. Combining these results, we propose that CAMSAP3 stabilizes microtubules by lattice expansion upon D2 binding, which further accelerates the recruitment of other CAMSAP3 molecules. Because only CAMSAP3 has D2 and the highest microtubule-stabilizing effect among mammalian CAMSAPs, our model also explains the molecular basis for the functional diversity of CAMSAP family members.
