Question - 129
What is happening? Where?
Answer: The running of the bulls in Pamplona, Spain. Rahul Trivedi, Ashwin, Vikrant, Keshav, Iam, Harish, Arvind, Anshul, Mekie, Raghu, Swapnaa and Adi got it. Well done.
Encierro (running of the bulls through the streets) at San Fermin, Spain.
Inspired by Manix :) I'm providing a short account of what I learned about the event:
Originally meant to be a commemoration of the death of Saint Fermin, this fiesta has long been about bullfights, bull running, drinking and partying on the streets for a full 7+ days in July. Its kinda like Oktoberfest and Holi and Mardi Gras and Jallikattu rolled into one. :)

As you can clearly tell, red and white are the festival colors. And here's a mad video of the encierro:
