Piconland: Conversation and Documentary Film Screening
Learn more about the history and cultural significance of Nevada’s official state drink, the Picon Punch at this documentary film screening. The 27-minute film will be followed by a conversation with Mark Maynard (writer and director, Piconland) and local panelists about Basque heritage and traditions in Nevada.
This program is produced by Nevada Humanities as part of Around the Table—a series of free, public humanities-based programming in commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Throughout 2026, Nevada Humanities invites Nevadans to share and celebrate their diverse food traditions through a series of public events and creative reflections that explore Nevada foodways, food traditions, and expressive cultures across the Silver State.
Around the Table is part of the national initiative By the People: Conversations Beyond 250, which is a series of community-driven programs created by humanities councils in collaboration with local partners, and was developed by the Federation of State Humanities Councils and the Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage.
Nevada Humanities’ Around the Table programming is supported in part by the Federation of State Humanities Councils and Nevada Humanities’ generous donors.
