La Tomatina is a food fight festival held on the last Wednesday of August each year in the town of Buñol in the Valencia region of Spain. Tens of metric tons of over-ripe tomatoes are thrown at each other in the streets during this day. The week-long festival features music, parades, dancing, and fireworks among other things. On the night before, participants of the festival compete in a paella cooking contest. This festival started in a casual way in 1945, but wasn't officially recognized until 1952.
These images are from the Tomatina festival on August 25, 2010.
Now let’s see some pictures from last year’s celebration.

Haha that looks like fun.
But if you just glance at some of the pictures it looks like gore or something. I was quite concerned at first.
