        People celebrate many kinds of festivals, but the La Tomatina festival is definitely one of the most unusual. La Tomatina is a food fight festival where people throw tomatoes at each other for fun. It is held every year in the town of Buñol, Spain.

        This festival, which is also known as “the world’s biggest food fight”, started in 1945. People tell different stories about how it began. Some people blame it on children causing trouble. Others say people were angry at the town’s government. But most stories agree that there was an argument and then people fought with tomatoes. This tomato fight was so big that people remembered it and did it again the next year for fun.

        La Tomatina always happens on the last Wednesday of August. The tomato fight usually begins at 11am, when a fleet of trucks transport more than 125,000 kilos of ripe tomato into the town, and it lasts for about 1 hour. All participants are advised to wear old clothes, while many others also wear goggles or masks to keep tomato juice out of their eyes.

        The number of people joining La Tomatina used to be large but manageable. However, in recent years, the number of attendees has been limited to 20,000 because too many people were trying to visit the tiny town of Buñol, which led to safety and security concerns. This is why you need to book much in advance if you want to join the fun!
