NEW ORLEANS -- For the fourth year, New Orleans did its best impersonation of the Festival in San Fermin in Pamplona, where bulls are sent into the streets with revelers often full of liquid courage running among them.
While the bulls are played the Big Easy Rollergirls armed with plastic bats so the runners won't get gored, the runners and the bulls take the revelry seriously, hitting the streets by 7 a.m.
The event in New Orleans is held at the same time at the original in Spain.
Starting in the French Quarter at the intersecton of Conti and Burgundy streets, the processions winds its way through the Quarter, crossing Canal Street and ending near the Convention Center.
