The Basque Center is again highlighting its culture’s arts and talents in this year’s festival: dancers ages four to 14 will show off their skills, as well as accordion players and other musicians, to name just a few performances.
One of the dance group directors, Jaclyn Lasuen, says that the three-day event has something for everybody to celebrate Boise’s Basque culture.
“We're very proud people. We focus mainly on community, but that has to do with working and that means celebrating together as well," said Lasuen.
Athletes from Basque Country, a region straddling Spain and France, will be making a special appearance on the traditional ball courts on the block, according to the center’s festival schedule.
“If you like music, there's musicians that are going to be playing all weekend. If you like sports, there's that. If you like food, of course, that's one of our top three things that we like to do is eat," Lasuen said.
The festival runs through Sunday evening.
