The Feria de Céret celebrates its 30 birthday 2018. The four day celebration in the small french pyrenees town is a mixture of traditional bull fights in the arena, a 250 meter bull run on the main street and a huge party in the center of the city. More than 20 bands play in front of the different bars. Every sport club opens it own temporary bar with food and drinks for little money. So there is a basketball bar, a rugby bar and a ballerina bar.
