La Tomatina

Ever fancied joining a massive tomato fight in the streets of Spain? 

La Tomatina is a festival celebrated in the small town of Buñol, Spain since the 1940s. Every year on the last Wednesday of August, it attracts thousands of participants who throw tomatoes at one another until everyone is wallowing in a red tide of tomato pulp. 

Briefly banned by General Franco during the fascist period because of its lack of religious significance, La Tomatina is now a wildly popular event and tourist attraction, so successful that some other communities in tomato-producing regions around the world have started holding their own tomato-throwing festivities! 

Olé!
