The Washington, DC Euskal Etxea is a Basque Club formed in 2006

 

 

We keep and practice the culture and traditions of the Basque people, engage in educational, social, and recreational activities to bring us together, support our members in any reasonable matter, and promote the Basque culture in the greater community.

History

Go back to October of 2005. That fall, the Embassy of France hosted "Last Link", chronicling the lives of Basque shepherds in the Western US. Argia Beristain and Jurdana Izagirre Artaza met at the reception and after dinners, patxaran and enthusiastic late night conversations, organized a gathering in July 2006. Over 30 people attended and the Washington DC Euskal Etxea became official!

Thanks to the enthusiasm and hard work of Izaskun Urien, Nagore Goitiandia, Sam Zengotitabengoa, Lorea Barturen, Eba Cortabarria, Bea Elorza and Pello Huesa, 2007 was a very busy year. We joined North American Basque Organizations (NABO) and created the Aberri Eguna picnic, a DC United soccer game, a Piperra dinner, a movie night, the Olentzero party and a Txalaparta concert. We currently have around 40 members. Many are young professionals.

We thank all our members and friends for their support and dedication!  We are a meeting point and welcome everybody in the DC area to join and attend gatherings and events as we expand membership and celebrate Basque fellowship.

Ondo ibili eta laster arte!
