Gigantes y Cabezudos: Create Your Own Wearable Big Head Sculpture (Ages 15 – 18)
Youth Summer Camp | Available
The Giants and Bigheads parade, or Gigantes y Cabezudos, is a parade of big-headed figures that takes place every morning during the San Fermín festival in Pamplona, Spain. In the spirit of San Fermín, we will construct giant paper mache heads, creating wacky wearable sculptures of our favorite characters or alter egos. Let the festival begin!
