The start of the San Fermín festival in Pamplona, Spain, drew thousands of people to the Praça Consistorial on July 6, 2026. The event began with the traditional 'chupinazo,' a rocket launch from the city hall balcony, followed by high temperatures and enthusiastic crowds wearing white with red stripes and scarves. The first bull run took place on July 7, covering approximately 848 meters between Santo Domingo corrals and the Pamplona bullring. Five people were injured during the run, with three requiring hospitalization at the University Hospital of Navarra.
