La Tomatina Festival, also known as "the world's
biggest food fight" saw crowds of people pelt ripe tomatoes at each other
yesterday, August, 26th. At the annual fiesta, 175 tones of ripe
tomatoes are offloaded from seven trucks into the crowd packing the streets for
an hour-long battle.
The tomato fight
leaves the participants and the town's streets awash with red pulp. The town is
hosed down minutes after the event ends at noon, while participants can use
public showers.
The paid-entry
event was inspired by a food fight between local children in 1945 in the
tomato-producing region.
