Running of the Bulls in New Orleans Marks 5th Year with Biggest Fest Yet!
NEW ORLEANS, La., May 26, 2011 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Some people mark their 5-year anniversary with a wooden gift, perhaps a replica of an official Major League Baseball Louisville Slugger. Nola Bulls does it with baseball bats too, only theirs are plastic and wielded by Rolling Bulls! San Fermin in Nueva Orleans (SFNO) will release hundreds of "Roller Bulls" on its streets again, led by the Big Easy Rollergirls. El Encierro, or Running of the Bulls in New Orleans, is the featured event in a 4 day festival from July 7-10, 2011. Big changes for this year's events include a Wine Dinner and a new starting venue and route. THURSDAY JULY 7 - 6:30 p.m.: Marques de Caceres Wine Dinner at Rambla, 217 Camp Street in the International House Hotel. Sangria reception followed by dinner paired with 5 wines from the famed Rioja winery. Special guest from the winery, Luis Burgueno, will be on hand to lead you through the wines. FRIDAY JULY 8 - 6 p.m.: El Txupinazo (choo-pee-NAHT-so) will start the weekend festivities off at The Chicory (610 S. Peters St.). Ven Pa Ca will perform flamenco music and dance at this Fund-Raising event. Tapas from Vega Tapas are the fare and sangria, Marques de Caceres wines, Stella Artois beer, and cocktails are the libations. The popularity of this event has grown from its inception in 2008 and will grow again. FRIDAY JULY 8 - SATURDAY JULY 9 - 8 p.m. to 8 a.m.: Following El Txupinazo will be an all night fiesta, the 12 Hour Countdown at the 12 Bar (608 Fulton St.).
