NEW ORLEANS, La., June 8, 2012 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- If past years are any indication, the crowd of partiers may double for the 6th Annual San Fermin in Nueva Orleans 2012 (SFNO) from July 12 - 15, hosted by Nola Bulls, LLC. The New Orleans incarnation of Running of the Bulls features roller derby skaters Big Easy Roller Girls and roller derby skaters from around the world as RollerBulls™: horned-helmet wearing, plastic bat wielding, crowd chasers. This spectacle was enjoyed by nearly 15,000 participants in 2011 representing exponential growth since its humble beginning in 2007 during which 125 runners were chased by 13 RollerBulls™.

THURSDAY JULY 12th - 6:30 p.m.:
SFNO unofficially begins with the 2nd Annual Wine Dinner presented by Marques de Caceres of Rioja and 7 on Fulton Restaurant (701 Convention Center Boulevard New Orleans, LA 70130). A limited number of diners will enjoy a multi-course, wine-paired meal. Menu and Ticket information is available at http://www.nolabulls.com.

FRIDAY JULY 13th - 5-9 p.m.:
El Txupinazo (choo-pee-NAHT-so) officially kicks off SFNO 2012 in a SUPER new venue and presents an opening experience influenced by the traditional Spanish event in Pamplona. This FREE EVENT will be hosted at Champions Square next to the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. Since opening in late 2010, Champions Square has been the site of great events such as Mardi Gras festivities and sports-related extravaganzas. Nola Bulls is proud to present El Txupinazo in an environment that will allow thousands to party in style. Tapas, Stella Artois and other beers, Marques de Caceres wines and sangria will liven the party. Multi-award winning Latin Boogaloo band, Los Poboycitos (http://lospoboycitos.com), will perform as will local dance troupes and performance groups.

SATURDAY JULY 14th - 8 a.m.:
El Encierro (The Running of the Bulls) is the featured event of SFNO and will commence at precisely 8 a.m. This FREE EVENT will also be held at Champions Square. Over 400 plus RollerBulls™ (from around the world), wielding plastic bats, will chase down and "gore" the thousands of participants. Festival registration packages are being offered on NolaBulls.com for VIP access that enables reserved area access, open bar and festival merchandise.

El Encierro is a "run at your own risk" event. All ages are welcome, but participants under 12 and people with strollers are required to use the sidewalks. Arrive early to view the Procession of San Fermin which begins at 7:30 a.m..

Following El Encierro will be the Post-Encierro Fiesta at Champions Square, featuring live music and area DJs, food, sangria, and Stella Artois. This event is FREE and open to the public.

SATURDAY JULY 14th - 8 p.m.:
La Fiesta de Pantalones (The Pants Party) revives the weary bull runners with live music from local acts, hand spun DJ tunes and other entertainment at 12Bar (608 Fulton St., New Orleans, LA 70130 - http://12barnola.com). Artists are to be determined.

SUNDAY JULY 15th - 11 a.m.:
El Pobre de Mi concludes the SFNO 2012 festivities. This growing event features a recovery brunch of tapas and Ernest Hemingway inspired cocktails like "Death in the Afternoon." Participants are invited to enter the laid back events, such as an Ernest Hemingway Look-a-Like contest and the Ernest Hemingway Jam, where multiple teams present their interpretations of randomly selected Hemingway works. 12Bar (608 Fulton St., New Orleans, LA 70130) will host this event.
