The opening ceremony begins
at noon on the 6th of July
with the firing of the
rockets, "el
chupinazo",
from the top of the Town
Hall. The crowd, filling
the town hall square by
11:00, flows into the Plaza
Consistorial de Pamplona,
Paseo de Sarasate and the
Plaza del Castillo as the
tens of thousands of
celebrants await the
countdown to the beginning
of the fiesta.
You can join the revelers as the fiesta
begins amid a sea white, an array of
bright red pañuelicos and a rain
of champagne to mark the start of this
unique 9-day event, or watch from the
special
balcony
we have arranged for our clients for
the opening ceremony.
It's "Bulls before Breakfast"
beginning on the 7th, a tradition
unique to Pamplona as breakfast is
generally not served until after the
bulls have run.
The
encierros, the Running
of the
Bulls,
commence on the 7th of July at 8:00 and
continue each morning through the 14th,
giving us "eight days of the
encierro".
The
7th is also the religious procession of
Pamplona's famed patron saint, San
Fermin. The procession begins at the
Capilla de San Fermin after the 10:00
am mass and slowly winds its way
through the narrow streets of the old
city accompanied by the official city
band, city dignitaries, hundreds of
Pamplonicas and the Gigantes and
Cabequdos (giants and big
heads).
The
regular daily procession of the
Gigantes y Cabezudos begins at 9:30
each morning starting on the 8th of
July and finishes up the afternoon of
the 14th at 2:30 when the children come
to say good-bye for another year.
