The Running of the NOLA Bulls is the highlight of the weekend-long San Fermin in Nueva Orleans festival. Events mirror festivities of the annual bull run in Pamplona, Spain. The NOLA “bulls” are roller derby skaters with horned helmets and plastic bats, and they chase runners around the Warehouse District and CBD from the starting point at Gallier Hall. There’s music by the Vivaz Duet, sangria, beer and food from local restaurants at El Txupinazo party on Friday, July 11. The run is early Saturday, July 12, and is followed by a party at Gallier Hall. Events conclude Sunday with El Pobre de Mi brunch, inspired by Ernest Hemingway.
