Hometown I’m from in Nevada has a very high basque population and they used to have the 4th of July celebration was actually a big basque celebration. Still absolutely love and prefer the basque chorizo over any sort of slimy Mexican chorizo out there.
Sorry to say there’s no “Basque chorizo”. Do you mean txistorra? It’s different. Each have their uses.
There’s no Basque celebration here in the 4th of July, isn’t that the American independence day? I think you have your facts pretty mixed. Or do you mean that they celebrated the American independence day with Basque motifs? In that case idk, kinda cool kinda weird, like pick an actual day that matters to us idk. Anyway.
There’s a lot of weird pieces of American culture which I believe started as immigrants telling their kids stories about where they emigrated from and trying to restart the traditions and culture of their heritage in the US that got mixed into the broader US cultural trappings. We only get like 5 federally mandated holidays off a year (if you work for a company above a certain size. Small businesses don’t have to give their employees any holidays or other benefits like sick days or health insurance), so there’s a lot of combining celebrations with holidays that people don’t have to work on.
You can drive across the country and find towns that look like they came right out of a tourism guide of Holland, or Germany, or the Netherlands, etc. that have their own weird celebrations of some bastardization of the culture/traditions of the country where the people emigrated from. It’s like a multi-generational game of telephone that started from a bunch of “when I was a kid…” stories.
And yeah I know there’s no 4th of July celebration in the Spanish French area that they’re from. I’m saying that in America on the 4th of July in the hometown that I’m from instead of doing a whole America 4th of July celebration because there were so many basque people that live here that they have a celebration that they call the Basque festival where they do a lot of different things dress traditionally they dance on wine glasses and do all sorts of stuff like that.

Well here in the States there is basque style chorizo, more like a bratwurst with spicy pork and lamb. As opposed to a Mexican style paste.
