The 2021 Running of the Bull took place at the Starboard in Dewey Beach Aug. 21 when over 1,000 people stripped off their pandemic blues and partied hard for the day in Dewey.
The event is reminiscent of the town of Pamplona’s celebration when revelers dress in traditional white outfits with red bandanas.
The annual event raises funds for the Rehoboth Beach Volunteer Fire Company.
This year’s matador was local celebrity and beer brewer extraordinaire Sam Calagione, founder of Dogfish Head Brewery.
Washington Capitals mascot Slapshot and Washington Nationals mascot Screech also made appearances for the event.
