FESTIVAL SEASON IS HERE!

Our festival will take place on Saturday, July 19th starting at 10a.m. It will be a day filled with performances from our dancers, weightlifters & woodchoppers, food, wine, contests & a social dance that evening. Everyone is welcome & admittance is free! 

There will not be a ton of seating outside so don’t forget your chairs & blankets to sit on while enjoying all of the festivities. Lunch will be served at 12:30 & will be delicious plates of chorizo sandwiches, salad, beans, cheese & wine. Meal tickets will be $15. Chorizos will be available later in the afternoon. Contests including the famous txinga contest will be in the afternoon as well. Be sure to sign up early!

The social dance to follow the festival will be held at El Dorado in their convention hall at 8p.m. Amerikanoak will be playing! Be sure to look for the signs as to where to go from the parking garage. It is recommended that you park in the El Dorado parking garage, take the sky bridge on the 3rd floor toward hotel registration, and from there you will be able to follow the signs leading you to the room the dance is located in.

 

Then keep the celebration going on Sunday Morning!
Join us Sunday morning after the festival for a traditional Basque breakfast by the beautiful Truckee River at Toro Bravo.

Enjoy a mouthwatering spread featuring tortilla de patata, chorizo, bacon, potatoes, cheese, fresh bread, and wine—a perfect way to wrap up the weekend with friends and fantastic food.

Plates are $30, with $4 from each meal donated to support the Reno Zazpiak Bat Basque Club.
