What is San Fermin?

San Fermin is a weeklong festival that occurs every July 6-14.

The most famous event at San Fermin is the Running of the Bulls (El Encierro) but also

includes many other events as well.

San Fermin started in the Middle Ages when two events were combined:

1.  A Commercial Secular Fair that cattle merchants attended. This then lead to bullfighting.

2. Religious ceremonies and festivities honoring Saint Fermin that originally occurred in October and was then changed to July to be at the same time as the fair.
