4. 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.

5. What is the purpose of San Fermin?
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.
