On Saturday, March 18th, the heart of the city will again be the site of a huge exhibition of Basque culture.  As part of the “Buenos Aires Celebrates” project auspiced by the city government and organized by the Laurak Bat Basque Club, this year’s BAC will also be included as part of the 140th Anniversary Festivities of the club that will begin on Monday and conclude on Sunday.  EuskalKultura.com will also be present on Avenida de Mayo with prizes to those who show knowledge of the Basque Country, and this website.  See you Saturday at BAC!

Buenos Aires, Argentina.   The Basque community will once again gather in the capital city to present their neighbors a sample of what the Basque diaspora in Argentina is today.  With the participation of the city's institutions, but also the invaluable contributions of euskal etxea from the interior, BAC provides visitors dance and music, cultural information, typical dishes, cooking classes, a kids’ corner, typical dree, publications and information on genealogy, and sports among other cultural proposals.  In the same way, and preceding its official start, there will also be an activity to include Euskera in the Korrika 2017 in Argentina.

EuskalKultura.com at BAC

Even if EuskalKultura.com has been present at prior editions of the festival and has covered it from the inside, this year the presence of the bulletin will be marked by its work at an institutional stand and activities that will take place there.
