The flag is like our own secret emblem. When you see it out in the world, not in the Basque Country, it’s something to get excited about. A sign that our fellow Basques are around.
I’ve always known how the flag makes me feel, but I decided to do some research into where it came from and what it means.
I hope you find some of this information useful!
Today on the YouTube channel, we’re talking about the San Inazio Basque festival that happens every July in Boise, Idaho.
I wasn’t able to make it because I was doing Basque walking tours in San Francisco, but some of the nice people over at the Basque Museum and Cultural Center took some videos for the Hella Basque YouTube channel.
I put them together as a compilation of the Basque dance performances from the weekend. Watch performances by 3 different dance groups: Boiseko Gazteak, Oinkari Basque Dancers, and Oñati Dantza Taldea.
Enjoy!
I went through YouTube looking for information on Basque immigrants in the United States. I love learning what I can about the diversity of experiences Basque immigrants had and the places they ended up.
What’s really special is the videos I found feature the descendants of Basque immigrants and how they celebrate their pride in their Basque heritage. So not only can you discover more about why Basque immigrants of years past came to the United States, but also how their presence is felt generations later.
If that sounds like something you want to learn more about, check out this interesting mix of formal news reports and individual video compilations.
Today on the YouTube channel, we’re talking about the Basque festival that happens every Labor Day weekend in Chino, California.
The Chino Basque Club’s 51st annual picnic took place at the Chino Fairgrounds last weekend. I went down with my entire family for 3 days of Basque activities – handball games, delicious meals, and plenty of Basque dancing.
So today you can follow along on our adventures in Chino. Hope you enjoy it!
Today is Aita’s birthday! I’m not allowed to tell you how old he is, but I can say he’s having a good few days of Basque celebrations to coincide with his birthday this year.
