Festival Overview

  • July 6

    The Opening Ceremony

    The Running of the Bulls festival starts on July 6th. In the morning, tens of thousands of partiers flood the streets of the Casco Viejo, or the Old Quarter, in anticipation of the opening ceremony. Finally, at noon, the city sets off a firework rocket, called the txupinazo, marking the official start of the Running of the Bulls festival. To experience the opening ceremony, you can watch from a balcony, or you can join the very rowdy partiers in the street.

  • July 7-14

    The Bull Runs

    On each of these 8 days, bulls run through the streets at 8:00am, followed by family-friendly entertainment with small heifers in the Plaza de Toros. Events go on all day, including religious parades, parades of paper-máchê giants, wood-chopping competitions, and more. In the evening, you can catch a bullfight, join in traditional dancing, run from a paper-máchê bull that shoots sparklers, watch a fireworks show, and dance to the music of local DJs and artists.

  • July 14

    The Closing Ceremony

    At around 11pm on July 14th, find a spot in the Plaza Consistorial to watch the beautiful, candlelit closing ceremony. Brass bands will alternate between somber songs that mourn the end of the festival and lively songs that anticipate next year's festival. Finally, at midnight, the mayor will declare the festival officially over, and the crowd will head to the nearby church to leave candles and handkerchiefs in honor of the festival's patron saint, San Fermín.
