Reading the calendarHow 2029 Falls on the Week
Our early read, based on the pattern we see every year.
The fiesta opens on a Friday and the first run is Saturday July 7, so the opening weekend lands on the busiest days of the fiesta.
The 14th falls on a Saturday, and the late-fiesta crowd is at its biggest when the 14th lands on a weekend. Expect both ends of the week to be full. The calmer runs are likely Monday July 9 to Thursday July 12.

Still to comeWhat Is Not Set Yet
The dates are fixed. The detail is not. These are announced closer to the fiesta, and we add them here as they are confirmed.
- The eight ganaderías (bull ranches), usually announced in November of the year before.
- The Bando de San Fermín, the city's rules for the fiesta, including access times to the route.
- Who lights the chupinazo from the town hall balcony.
- Any works or changes around the route.
