La Tomatina (Spain)
La Tomatina is a madcap tomato-throwing event taking place on the last Wednesday of August each year. In this festival, the participants launch tomato attacks on fellow participants, which eventually becomes a full-fledged tomato war. This chaotic and funny tomato fight takes place between 11 am 1 pm on that day. The organizers of this event actually cultivate inedible tomatoes particularly for this event.
