40th Anniversary of the Elko Poetry Gathering, Nevada.

The northern region of Nevada is real life cowboy country. Along the I-80, dubbed the ‘Cowboy Corridor’, visitors will discover lively communities full of history and attractions to match. Museums, art galleries, poetry and music festivals, and even beers highlight the confluence of buckaroo, Basque, and American Indian traditions in the region.

One such festival, The National Cowboy Poetry Gathering in Elko, marks its 40th year in 2025. The six-day gathering is filled with poetry, music, dancing, workshops, exhibits, conversations, food and fellowship. Those that follow the route will also enjoy a taste of Nevada’s Basque History, with plenty of Basque restaurants along the route serving Basque feasts family style.
