Basque Festivals Across the U.S.


View 2011 Basque Summer Festivals in the U.S. in a larger map

The onset of spring and summer means lively and colorful Basque festivals from San Francisco to Rhode Island.

Some of these celebrations, such as the Kern County Basque Club festival held during the Memorial Day weekend in Bakersfield, typically attract thousands of visitors who feast on hearty Basque dishes and enjoy great dancing performances and thrilling exhibitions of pilota, or Basque handball. Other events, such as the annual picnic sponsored by the Rhode Island Basque Club, are not as large. But each offers an opportunity for local Basque communities to celebrate their unique heritage and culture. Those who have attended know there is nothing quite like a Basque festival.

    There is nothing like participating or simply viewing all kinds of spectacular events at any annual Basque Festival whether in the U.S. or abroad. People here should simply spend some time in Boise, Elko, Winnemucca, South San Francisco and as far east as Rhode Island to see what I mean.
