Fun with Fruit
Evidently in Valencia Spain, for a reason that no human can agree on, people throw about 100 tons of overripe tomatoes at one another. The Tomatina Festival lasts a week long with food, parades, paella, and the usual accoutrements.
It attracts huge numbers of tourists, swelling the towns population three to five times it's normal size.
The actual throwing of tomatoes lasts one hour and is signaled to start and end with a burst of water from cannons.
It sounds like good filthy fun.
