We are still hearing about Aberri Eguna celebrations around the world that we are collecting little by little, as there are so many. Venezuela is surely the country in the Diaspora that commemorates the day the most solemnity. It is a tradition for the three Basque clubs, Caracas, Valencia and Puerto La Cruz to begin the day with Basque mass, followed by the raising of the Basque Venezuelan flags while playing their respective anthems, a floral wreath, pilota matches and a meal. That is how the first two clubs celebrated this year while Puerto La Cruz celebrated in various private homes.
