The Bakersfield Californian. In its 46th year, the event, put on by the Kern County Basque Club at its South Union Avenue clubhouse, runs throughout Memorial Day weekend with dancing, handball, a card tournament and that famous food.

In past years, The Californian has captured some of the festivities in videos. See those at bakersfield.com/basque-festival-1 and bakersfield.com/basque-festival-2.
