Annual Running of the Bulls at San Fermin
July
New Orleans, LA

 

This festival is based off Spain's running of the bulls event, but with a twist. They try to avoid using actual bulls (animal cruelty advocates would be pleased). Instead, you have rollerbulls, girls who chase you on rollerblades. If they catch you, then you get a beating with the soft foam and plastic bats that they have. More than that, the festival would also include the El Txupinazo and the Encierro Fiesta. With three days of activities lined up, there is absolutely no reason why you should be bored.
