The Basque Festival is back once again this weekend and is ready to bring dancing, handball and, of course, traditional food to the Kern County Basque Club at 2301 S. Union Ave. Saturday kicks off at 8 a.m. with a Mus tournament, a popular card game in Basque Country. Registration costs $35, and the first-place team will take home $500. Four handball players, or pelotaris, from Basque Country will be playing handball as well, according to the club’s website. The night will end with dance performances from various groups.

The festival continues Sunday with a 10 a.m. Mass by Aita Antton Egiguren and more tournaments and dancing. For more information, visit http://kcbasqueclub.com.
