Quick facts about La Tomatina Festival
- When: La Tomatina Festival happens annually during the last wednesday of August.
- Where: Takes place in Buñol, a little village near Valencia, Spain. Population around 10.000 people. Located 40 km from Valencia by bus, train or car.
- Why: In 1945 some young boys decided to get a place among the retinue of a parade during the town festivities. The energy of these teens made that one participant fell down. The participant got mad and started to hit everything in his way. Casually nearby there was a vegetable stall that fell victim of the furious crowd: people started to pelt each other with tomatoes.
- What: What’s your ammunition? 120 tons of red tomatoes.
- Who: Locals and people from all over the world. Maximum capacity: 22.000 participants. Just for adults at least 18 years old.
- How: Tomatina Festival begins at 12am with a bang. Trucks loaded of tomatoes proceed to drive through the fight area while some locals in the back of the trucks are throwing tomatoes at all of the festival goers. As soon as the truck passes, everyone dives on the ground scooping for tomatoes to get themselves armed for the battle…that’s when the fun begins! The following hour will be one of the most intense and hilarious experiences of your life.
Keep in mind these tips:
- La Tomatina begins at 12.00am with a starting signal and ends at 13.00 o’clock. Stop throwing tomatoes when you hear the shot of the second warning firework.
- Do not enter bottles or hard objects because you can cause an accident or damages to your battle’s fellows.
- Do not tear or throw your T-shirts nor others T-shirts.
- Squash the tomatoes before throwing them, the hit will be less painful.
- Keep a safe distance from the lorries.
- Follow the security staff directions.
- Tomatina Dress code: wear clothes that you don’t mind to throw away after the epic fight. Some people wear white t-shirts, some others wear old clothes. Swimsuit under your clothes is not a bad idea because you’re gonna end up soaked by tomato rain and water hoses.
- Footwear: if you don’t want to lose your shoes during the fight, avoid flip flops and anything that makes you feel uncomfortable or insecure. But remember to wear something you won’t regret to ruin it.
- Follow the security directions and keep a safe distance from the lorries.
- Only bring things you will need. You will not need passports, laptops, etc.
- And last but not least, enjoy the party!
