Annual Event Details
Summer Picnic
Every summer, Colorado Euskal Etxea hosts our annual summer picnic with a delicious Basque meal and music. It's a great way to enjoy Colorado's natural beauty, excellent Basque food, entertainment, and fellowship with other Basques! We'll often play the Basque card game, Mus. Mayi, our president, is wonderful Mus player and is always willing to teach how to play the game.
​
Holiday Party
Our annual holiday party celebrates the winter holidays. In the past, this event has had catered paella or is potluck style. Good food, fun, and an appearance by Olentzero (Basque Santa Claus) are always on the agenda!
​
Annual Membership meeting
Every year, we meet as a club to discuss our plans for the year and share new ideas for how to build a stronger community. This is a great opportunity to get to know other members, volunteer to host an event, or join our Board of Directors.

Basque Dance Lessons
In the past, we've found Basque Dancers to teach us how to do a few traditional Basque dances. We're always looking for more instructors so if you're interested in teaching or participating, please let us know.
