Fête du Piment

A Basque village celebration of Espelette peppers, regional food and local traditions.

The occasion

The published programme describes food and craft stalls, Basque music and dancing, with the pepper blessing and brotherhood procession on Sunday. It is a village celebration rather than a single ticketed performance.

Before you plan

The programme is provisional and timings can change. Confirm the activities you want to see before travelling, and arrange accommodation and access separately.
