It is all part of a four day celebration in The Big Easy. It's called "San Fermin in Nueva Orleans." It's all free and open to the public.  "8:00 a.m. is when we start, but you can come out as early as 6:30 and start getting your liquid courage on," says event co-founder Mickey Hanning. There will be as many as 400 bulls chasing participants ... but a completely different kind of bull.

According to WWL.com the 'bulls' are actually young ladies from the flat-track roller derby league...most of them from the Big Easy Rollergirls, but also from roller derby leagues across the country and one from Guam. It should be a site to see as the girls will have horns on their helmets and will be goring participants with wiffle ball bats.
