New Orleans to Host The 18th Annual Edition of Its Roller Derby Themed RUNNING OF THE BULLS On July 12-14

NEW ORLEANS, La. /ScoopCloud/ -- The Crescent City will once again be the backdrop for America's original festival to commemorate Pamplona, Spain's centuries-old San Fermin celebration that culminates in the famous Running of the Bulls in New Orleans on July 13, 2024, Nola Bulls LLC announced today.

San Fermin in Nueva Orleans 2024 will take place July 12 through 14, 2024, in the Central Business District of downtown New Orleans, with three days of events at the beautiful and historic Gallier Hall at 545 St. Charles Avenue.

The start of the weekend's festivities - "El Txupinazo" - kicks off on Friday night. This year's entertainment includes New Orleans' own James Andrews and the Crescent City All Star Jazz Band. There will be a fund-raiser for their chosen charity partner, Beth's Friends Forever, to support New Orleans area women fighting cancer.

RELEASE THOSE BULLS on SATURDAY MORNING!

Come out and see women roller derby athletes, aka RollerBulls(tm), chase down "runners" wearing traditional red and white colors to commemorate Saint Fermin. The Bulls themselves, hailing from across the USA and Canada, will be decked out as their namesake and delivering air bat reminders for participants to "move it along" to the annual gauntlet before finishing the run at Gallier Hall for performances by an outstanding, all "NOLA" lineup.

Neutral Snap's Pop Punk set kicks off the main room, while DJ Brice Nice spins in the chill room. Dinny Skip, the "freakin' funkiest funkrap flabadooby to ever stomp this sweet swingin' sphere" headlines. All the while, the Crescent City All Star Jazz Band jazzes up the VIP.

The finale of the weekend is the beloved Burlesque-themed recovery party to close out the fiesta, and will once again be hosted by Big Deal Burlesque. This is a ticketed event inside the theater at Gallier Hall, and will include a tasty brunch and Bloody Marys.

Proceeds benefit Beth's Friends Forever, a New Orleans non-profit supporting women fighting cancer. Since its inception in 2007, San Fermin Nueva Orleans has delivered more than $50,000 directly to patients going through their fight.

Running Of The Bulls Only Sorta Canceled Due To Pandemic – 14th rendition of San Fermin in Nueva Orleans changes format, again

NEW ORLEANS, La. /ScoopCloud/ -- Nola Bulls, LLC has found a way to carry on the fun of San Fermin in Nueva Orleans with an online gathering of amigos.

Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic and the uncertainty of legal gatherings of more than 10 people, the organizers and brain trust of San Fermin in Nueva Orleans have opted for an online fiesta. On Saturday July 11, 2020 all are invited to join the team as they present a way to revel with the friends they normally see each year, but cannot due to the virus.

Annually since 2007 people have come from around the globe to enjoy the company of friends and the gorings of our Virtual Bulls, aka RollerBulls(tm). The team had to be creative in order to bring the fun and festive feeling of SFNO to their loyal fans. Notify your friends and schedule a socially distant/approved way to join in.

Back in 2007 some friends dreamt up the idea of recreating the famous Running of the Bulls in Pamplona, Spain by replacing the four-legged bovines with two-legged RollerBulls played by the Big Easy Rollergirls roller derby team. What has occurred since is nothing short of amazing. Each year hundreds of roller derby skaters (aka RollerBulls) from around the globe chase down and whoop willing runners through the streets of New Orleans. It's all part of a great three-day fiesta.

The three-day event that usually spans many blocks and venues in the city of New Orleans will be shortened to a few hours, but expanded to venues around the world. Entry to this virtual wonderland is available via www.nolabulls.com.

Look for performances from our beloved local groups and bands as well as some introductions to fans that come annually to enjoy our beloved city and this wacky fiesta.
