Corpus Christi Church in Buffalo is on the hunt for the best pierogi in town. They’re hosting the 14th Buffalo’s Best Pierogi contest on Saturday, October 12, 2024, at 3:00 pm. It’s open to all you amateur cooks and local businesses.

This contest is just one part of the church’s 45th Dożynki Polish Harvest Festival happening on October 12 and 13, 2024.

The event organizer, Christopher Byrd, says it’s all about celebrating Buffalo’s love for food and our city’s diverse cultural heritage. We have some seriously passionate folks competing with their homemade pierogi recipes, and it’s gonna be a great event. Participants can compete in two categories: Traditional Pierogi and Non Traditional Pierogi.

If you want to enter, head over to the church’s website or call (716) 218-0232. And mark your calendars because the deadline for entries is October 5, 2024.

A panel of judges will determine who takes home the coveted title of Buffalo’s Best Pierogi Maker and the golden rolling pin. There are also prizes for second and third place, so you better bring your A-game!

Corpus Christi Church was established in 1898 and is a key part of Buffalo’s Historic Polonia neighborhood at 199 Clark Street. It’s on the state and national lists of historic sites.
