The Festival of San Ferm\u00edn is a world-famous annual celebration held in Pamplona, the capital of the autonomous region of Navarra in northern Spain. The festival combines religious tradition, cultural pageantry, nightly entertainment, bullfights, and, most famously, the running of the bulls (encierro).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The festival honors Saint Ferm\u00edn, a 3rd-century Christian martyr who became one of the patron saints of Pamplona. Historically, the festival merges three traditions: the religious commemoration of San Ferm\u00edn, a seasonal livestock fair, and the practice of herding bulls through the city\u2019s streets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quando e dove si svolge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Il festival si svolge ogni anno dal 6 al 14 luglio a Pamplona.
The official opening, known as the Chupinazo, happens at noon on 6 July. A rocket is launched from the balcony of Pamplona\u2019s City Hall, marking the formal start of the fiesta.
The closing ceremony occurs at midnight on 14 July, when participants gather in the Plaza del Ayuntamiento (City Hall Square) to sing \u201cPobre de m\u00ed\u201d (\u201cPoor Me\u201d), often by candlelight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Corsa dei tori (Encierro)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The most internationally recognized event of San Ferm\u00edn is the running of the bulls, which takes place each morning from 7 to 14 July at 8:00. The route starts at the Santo Domingo corral and winds through the fenced-off narrow streets of the old quarter for about 850 meters to the bullring (Plaza de Toros), usually in two to three minutes. Each run involves six fighting bulls escorted by steers to keep them on course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La corsa \u00e8 pericolosa: dal 1910, anno in cui iniziano le statistiche, sono morte 16 persone, l\u2019ultima nel 2009, e ogni anno si contano decine di feriti. I corridori devono avere almeno 18 anni, essere sobri e non possono portare fotocamere, telefoni o borse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the afternoon each day from 7 to 14 July, the bulls that ran in the morning take part in bullfights (corridas) at Pamplona\u2019s bullring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Altri momenti clou<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Every morning the parade of giants and big-heads (Comparsa de Gigantes y Cabezudos) winds through the old town, the solemn procession of San Ferm\u00edn takes place on 7 July, and fireworks light up the sky every night. Most people dress in white with a red sash and neckerchief. Ernest Hemingway’s novel The Sun Also Rises (1926) made the fiesta famous around the world. The street events are free, but hotels in Pamplona are booked up months ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
