Jai Alai Events
With a history dating back centuries, Jai Alai (cesta punta) isn’t just a sport, it’s a way of life. At Jai Alai Events, we’re dedicated to preserving and promoting this vibrant tradition, as well as Basque sports and traditions, by offering experiences for everyone from passionate players to curious tourists.
Come and experience an exciting match or take part in a pelota demonstration and play in a fronton yourself. Our pelota experiences are a fun way to learn more about this sport and its impact on Basque culture. You’ll learn from experts who share their passion for Jai Alai and will help you capture the essence and excitement of this sport.
At Jai Alai, we also offer a wide range of rural sports experiences, farmhouse games, and Basque music and traditions in an authentic and vibrant setting for tourists, groups, corporate events, and private celebrations.
The most enjoyable proposals
Pilota Experience
Participate in a Jai Alai game demonstration with professional pelotari. Bet on the winning pelotari and try throwing a ball in the fronton yourself, passing a series of ball throwing and catching tests.
Pelota courses and workshops
Sign up for a pelota course taught by professional pelota players in any of the modalities: hand, paddle, basket, or take an introductory workshop to the world of pelota for beginners.
Rural sports demonstrations
Experience an unparalleled demonstration of strength and endurance. Rural sports are the result of turning work into sport. You'll see, among others, stone lifters (harrijasotzaileak), log cutters (aizkolariak), and rope pullers (tiralariak), all of them athletes worthy of admiration for their physical strength and physical vigor, and for being an example of personal improvement.
Farmhouse games
An ideal option for groups, team building, or school trips. Farm games are tests of skill and endurance based on traditional tasks, both organized as a team competition or simply as an activity to try out the sport and have fun.
Theatrical events
We organize theatrical events based on Basque mythology, where we perform rituals and dances and incorporate mythological characters. We also perform demonstrations of Basque dances, traditional music, and oral songs in unique settings, such as caves, farmhouses, and unique spaces like palaces and castles, with a staging that creates a spectacular atmosphere.
Basque gymkhanas
Come experience a beautiful adventure by choosing the activity you like best, from pintxo-making workshops, txakolí tastings, and trail tests to music and dance workshops and guided tours for all ages and groups.
Corporate and private events
We offer personalized options ranging from private matches or demonstrations to team-building experiences using Jai Alai, rural sports, and farm games as a foundation for team cohesion. We offer the Bilbao Bizkaia Frontón for dinners, shows, and events, and our professional team of pelota players, who compete internationally, to offer a true spectacle for spectators with a variety of exhibitions.
