Borrowing from the beer drinking, music loving Germans and seasoned tomato-throwers of Spain, the Tomato Battle is like La Tomatina and Oktoberfest all wrapped up in one event.
Festivities commence at noon and by 4 p.m., tomato pelting is in full force. After 7 p.m., the tomato-smothered mass of fun-loving individuals is free to clean up, or not, and hang out to enjoy some beer and live music. All of the tomatoes used during the exhibition are non-edible and have been previously marked for disposal, so participants can hurl them guilt free.
