It has been many months of preparation, but everything is ready in Buffalo, Wyoming to receive from this afternoon the many people who will participate until Sunday in the program of events of the NABO Convention and Basque Festival 2017. It will be a wide program with tickets and offers for all tastes, with the artistic representation of people and groups from both the US and Euskal Herria. It's going to be a lot of fun! Come and share your Basque culture!

Buffalo, Wyoming, USA. The organization of the event hwas based on the members and directors of the Big Horn Basque Club of Buffalo and of the whole of the local Basque community, which has also added the invaluable support of the City of Buffalo and of many neighbors and locals of non Basque origin, thanks to whose joint effort it has been possible to design and prepare this extensive program.

This is the list of activities planned for this July 20-23:
