Our Featured Festivals of July


If being part of an immense sweaty throng moving to a single electronic beat is your thing then why not head for the Mecca of techno - Germany - for the one, for the only......Love Parade.

Join some of the globes top DJs each July as they take the party to the streets spinning to a crowd of a million plus hard core ravers. At night local clubs turn the event into a non-stop party.

So pack your toothbrush, your dance shoes and a bouncy disposition - forget the pajamas - and head to the Love Parade for the maddest, wildest weekend of your life.

Following the tragic events of the 2010 event in Duisburg, the German Love Parade is no more. We'll maintain or Love Parade content on 2camels as a historical account of the event - Ed.


At noon on the seventh day of the seventh month (that's July 7th for those calendarily challenged) for a duration of seven days, the Spanish city of Pamplona plays host to the festival of San Fermin (known locally as Sanfermines and famously depicted in Hemingway's, The Sun Also Rises).

The event draws party-goers from near and far and although Sanfermines entails so much more to the locals, it's the Encierro - the daily running of the bulls - that the majority of the tourists are on hand to see. For a little over half a mile bull runners - clad in all white with red handkerchiefs tied around their necks - battle the cobbles of Santo Domingo en route to El Plaza del Toros whilst in pursuit are six, infuriated, agitated and totally disorientated toros. Injuries are numerous, since 1924 they've proven fatal for 13 protagonists.


No sporting event evokes the national interest like the Tour de France does in it's homeland. Le Tour is a French institution, a massive event on any scale and a phenomenon as intriguing as any on the world sporting calendar. Over 23 days and 21 stages through the full gamut of terrain, weather and road conditions Le Tour is the ultimate endurance test for any cyclist and a great place to see the French and their captivating country at it's very best.
