National Basque Festival

About

Held in Elko each July, the 62nd Annual National Basque Festival celebrates Basque tradition with traditional dance performances, rural sports competitions, live music, fireworks, and extensive Basque food — paella, lamb, wine, and more. Running since the early 1960s and drawing a strong regional crowd, this is a marquee heritage event with deep community roots and vendor appeal across food, crafts, and cultural programming.
