A night of Basque dance and music performances by the Utah'ko Triskalariak, a silent auction, drinks, and a multi-course dinner created by chefs within our club. This event is held to Help our club raise funds so we may continue to preserve our culture and traditions through the years to come.
Every year, for 35 years, our club members get together to sell churros, chorizo sandwiches, and other items to raise money for our club. This is an annual free festival located in downtown Salt Lake City.
The Basque Club of Utah attends the Carmelite fair every year, our dancers perform, and we sell food to donate money to the Carmelite Monastery. The fair is usually on a Sunday in September on the monastery grounds, 5714 S. Holladay Blvd. The Carmelite Nuns depend on the annual fair as their main source of income. There are dancers from around the world, a live auction, drinks, games, rides and giveaways.
Our Basque dance group was founded in 1975 . They perform tradition Basque dances at various events in Utah as well as other states. If you would like more information, head to our dancer's page and make sure to follow them on social media.
Prior to the dinner, club members will gather and make the blood sausage from scratch. Members then come together, the week after, to enjoy the sausage, and other dishes, at a communal dinner usually ending with entertainment.
