The story

Feria de Dax in Dax

Feria de Dax traces to the town's bullring opening in 1913, establishing Dax as a venue for Spanish-style bullfighting and Landaise courses, a regional bullfighting form where participants dodge charging bulls rather than facing them directly. Held each August over roughly five days, the feria combines bullring events with continuous street celebration across the town, distinct from Pamplona's street bull-running format despite shared Spanish-influenced roots.

Feria de Dax traces to the opening of the town's bullring in 1913, which established Dax, in the Landes region of southwestern France, as a venue for traditional Spanish-style bullfighting alongside Landaise courses, a distinct regional form of bullfighting in which participants dodge and leap over charging bulls rather than facing them with a cape and sword.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The Landaise courses, in which participants dodge and leap over charging bulls rather than facing them with cape and sword, give Feria de Dax's bullring program a specifically regional character distinct from conventional Spanish-style bullfighting, even as both formats share the same historic bullring dating to 1913

02

The mystery stays covered

Unlike Pamplona's San Fermin, Dax's feria keeps bull-related events confined to the bullring itself rather than running bulls through open streets, with street-level festivities, music and continuous partying unfolding as a separate, parallel layer of celebration throughout the town
