Overview
If you've missed out on the Running of the Bulls in Spain this year, its ‘kay. The Teneriffe Festival's Running of the Rams is practically the same thing (minus the potential death risk!). Organisers implore you to race from the top of Ethel Street and along Vernon Terrace in order to win bragging rights for eternity about how you were the greatest sheep of all. No pun intended.
Kicking off at 9am in the former woolstore district, the second annual Teneriffe Festival is guaranteed to leave you wondering why you'd never donned woollen clothes and run down the street before. This sophomore soiree will have something for everyone: live music, the Theme and Variations London Laneway, markets, The Beyond the Black Stump Animation Festival, not to mention a magical history tour. Oooh exciting! 30,000 visitors filled the humble streets of historic Teneriffe last year, and made it a booming success. If you're like me, you'll need a feed while you're walking around (and especially after losing precious energy in the Running of the Rams), and the festival's selection of food and wine does not disappoint; local business will be showcasing their goodies.
Get down to the Teneriffe Festival this Sunday; ewe won't believe your eyes (sorry!).
