San Fermin Txikito

[joanneking]

Greetings fellow pilgrims! Would anyone know where I can find information on the San Fermin Txikito festival in Pamplona in September? I happened upon it in 2015, and would like to be there for it again this fall, with my daughter this time. There is very little information available on the internet. Thank you!

All that I've found so far is this list of festivals in Spain on the Rick Steves website which shows the date as being September 25th this year.

I timed my camino to attend San Fermin Txikito last September — it is typically the weekend closest to the saint’s day (Fiesta de San Fermine) on Sept 25. If you’re into this sort of thing — it’s amazing. Parades of the Gigantes, sword dancing, a parade of the Saint, the works. There isn’t a lot posted on the web — try searching San Fermine de Adalpa (or variaritions thereof). It’s sponsored by the Adalpa section of Pamplona’s casco antiguo. Good luck and Buen Camino.

PS — When I asked at the tourisim office when the Gigantes would parade, the woman behind the counter rolled her eyes and said “just follow the kids.” And she was right. The web information may not go up until September, but it will likely be similar to previous years — which are still posted.

I found more information with that search.

Everything that I found says that it's the last weekend of September.

September San Fermin celebration in Pamplona? - Rick Steves Travel Forum

Rick Steves' guidebook says there is a non-touristy celebration in Pamplona in September (not the running of the bulls in July) for San Fermin. Information about this event online is scarce. There are, apparently, cultural, musical and religious events for a week around September 25. Any leads...
