Fiesta de San Fermín
Fiesta de San Fermín (Spanish: Festival of Saint Fermín) festival
held annually in Pamplona, Spain, beginning at noon and ending at
midnight, honouring the city’s first bishop and patron saint, Saint
Fermín. The Fiesta de San Fermín begins on Wednesday, July 6 and
ends on Thursday, July 14, 2022.
The festival was originally observed on Saint Fermín’s feast day,
September 25, but in 1592 the celebration was moved to July.
Pamplona’s modern fiesta starts with fireworks called chupinazo at
noon on July 6, followed by the singing of the traditional song
“Pamploneses, Viva San Fermín, Gora San Fermín” (“People of
Pamplona, Long Live Saint Fermín”). The most acknowledged festival
event is the running of the bulls, or the encierro. From July 7 to July
14 the bulls to be used in the daily bullfights are run through the
streets of the town to the bullring. Both locals and tourists participate
in the event, made famous in Ernest Hemingway’s 1926 novel The
Sun Also Rises. The bullfight, or corrida, is held every afternoon. In
addition to the secular events, the Procession of Saint Fermín, a
religious celebration, takes place the morning of July 7. Other events
associated with the fiesta include the comparsa, a parade featuring
large puppets carried by the marchers, as well as numerous parties
and spontaneous gatherings. The festival ends on July 14 with the
singing of “Pobre de Mi” (“Old Poor Me”).
