Euskal kultura

It's here--the season for festivals and picnics of the euskal etxeak in the United States. The celebration begins this Saturday in Fresno, California, with the 36th edition of the Fresno Basque Basque Club. Over the next few months, every American Basque Center will throw its big party, on a calendar that runs until October. Among the events to mark this year, a few in particular to be noted are the Elko Festival, which takes place July 5-7 and will be held in conjunction with the NABO Convention and a meeting of the Basque centers in the U.S., Canada and Mexico; Udaleku, June 16-28 in Bakersfield, California; and Kantari Eguna, August 10 in Gardnerville, Nevada, and Centennial Gala Etxea Euzko New York on October 13.

Elko, USA. This Saturday the Fresno Basque Festival will usher in the picnic season for U.S. Basque centers, with thirty Jaiak Euskal that will be happening almost every weekend. The American Basque centers leverage the warmer months to celebrate the season, the centers being a regular meeting point for partners, visitors and friends of the nearby towns.
