The Colorado Basque Club
Welcome to Colorado Euskal Etxea!
Kaixo! Hello!
​
We are the Colorado Euskal Etxea (The Colorado Basque Club), a cultural group dedicated to celebrating and preserving the Basque culture in the state of Colorado. We are a small club serving people of Basque descent and people interested in learning more about the Basque culture. Our club was also instrumental in getting Plaza Urrutia in Grand Junction designated as a State Historic Monument.
Our group hosts events throughout the year to foster friendships, community and connection. We would love to see you at one of our events. Check back periodically on our events and activities page.
If you have any questions, please call me at 303.868.0906 or email me at coloetxea@gmail.com.
