El Pobre de Mi (Poor Me) | San Fermin in New Orleans closing event
Nola Bulls
As the final event of San Fermin in Nueva Orleans, the annual Pobre de Mi is a chance to relax in the shade, to nurse a beautiful hangover (not to mention a beautifully-bruised backside), and to let the excitement come to you for a change. Enjoy a savory tapas brunch and specialty drinks on the Sunday following the run. Then, without having to leave your table, let us bring the 6th Annual Ernest Hemingway Celebration & Talent Contest to you. Our Hemingway Celebration features skit contests, dramatic readings and a Hemingway look-alike contest in collaboration with the Tennessee Williams Literary Festival.

An Afternoon of Earthly Delights:
Two Thrilling Contests
The 6th Annual Ernest Hemingway Dramatic Reading/Skit Contest
Draw from Hemingway’s works or use your own original inventions to bring your Hemingway-inspired alter egos to life for this pageant of awesomeness. In years past, we have been dazzled by great readings, puppet shows, improv comedy routines, and skits performed entirely with stuffed animals. We have beheld musical performances, acrobatics, clowns boxing and terrific original poetry. Whatever your special talent is, bring it to the stage and release your inner Hemingway! Great prizes lie in store for winners of numerous categories.
Hemingway Lookalike Contest
Have you got the look? We want to see it! Special prizes (not to mention enduring, manly glory) go to the winners of this contest.
If you’re interested in participating in any of the events listed above, please email Sunday.
