If you are curious about the unique, glorious, city-party-size of San Fermines, here you have the tip of the iceberg.
Today, 6th of July 2017, is the ´chupinazo´, which means the party starts right now, 12am (Spain time), and will be followed by 8 days of full time party, numerous activities, such as concerts, bull-fighting and many others that you can see at:

As an example, check out the ´chupinazo´ from 2015 in the following youtube video by Navarratv:
The main course is the really really dangerous ´encierro´, which consists in running 850m in front of a herd mostly of brave bulls, culminating in the bull-fighting arena.
There are ´encierros ´ everyday between the 7th and 14th of July at 8am. Check out the following video, exceptionally clean with no one badly hurt, of the third ´encierro´from 2016:
To understand the magnitude of the event, the usual population of Pamplona is around 200,000, and during San Fermines, the population exceeds the million, yes, more than 5 times the usual population of people from all over the world, partying nonstop for 9 days.
OMG such memories ..
If you think they all wearing red that is not right, everyone come out wearing white, but at some point everything becomes red, the red color of wine.
And if you want to see in LIVE tv what is going on check the local television (not really reliable at peak audiences)
