The history of the pierogi dates back to the 13th century in Eastern Europe, where they became a staple in many households due to their simplicity and affordability. Immigrants from Poland and Ukraine brought these dumplings to the United States and Canada in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, where they quickly became a part of the local food culture. Pierogi are especially celebrated in cities with large Eastern European communities, such as Pittsburgh, where they’ve even inspired events like pierogi races at baseball games.

National Pierogi Day is a time to appreciate not just the dish itself but also the cultural traditions and family bonds it represents. Families often pass down cherished pierogi recipes through generations, gathering in the kitchen to make these dumplings together, especially during holidays and special occasions. Celebrating National Pierogi Day is an opportunity to honour this rich heritage, savour the flavours, and bring people together over a shared love of this comforting and delicious food. Wishing everyone Happy National Pierogi Day 2024!
