Special balcony reservations are available, or you can join the thousands as the fiesta begins amid a sea of bright red panuelicos and a rain of champagne to mark the start of this 9-day event. There is a special celebration lunch available following the opening ceremony.

Join us on a VIP balcony for the first encierro, the "Running of the Bulls", which commence on 7 July at 08:00 and continue each morning through the 14th, thus eight days of the encierro.

Following breakfast, you have the opportunity to join the religious procession of Pamplona's famed patron saint, San Fermin. The procession begins at the Capilla de San Fermin after a 10:00 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).

You can add another morning on a balcony for the 2nd encierro at a nominal cost. The regular daily procession of the Gigantes y Cabezudos begins at 09:30 each morning starting on the 8th of July and finishes up the afternoon of the 14th when the children come to say good-bye to the giants for another year.Come and enjoy the music. The festival offers everything from traditional Basque folk music to rock and jazz.
