Glossary of San Fermin´s Terms. 2

2. Chupinazo:
The rocket is launched from Pamplona´s City Hall at noon on July 6 to kick off San Fermin Festival. Thousands of people gather in the square (last year 12,000 people) hall dressed in white and with the red scarf in hand as they cannot wear it in until the rocket is launched. This year -2012 - the Chupinazo will be lighten by Mr. Iñaki Cabasés a councilman of Pamplona´s Town Hall.


3. Riau Riau
'Riau Riau': this is the  traditional ceremony that accompanies the municipal corporation from the City Hall to San Fermin´s Chapel, they will make a total distance of 500 meters. It was first celebrated in an official manner in 1914 but it was lost in 1991 after several incidents. And this year it will be recovered after 21 years without it. The rhythm of the walk is slow because many people walk along while the surrounding crowd will be humming the popular melody known as the Astrain´s Waltz.
