Biggest and Funnest Food Fight Ever!!
The last Wednesday of August each year, you have the opportunity to participate in arguably the world's biggest food fight named La Tomatina. The weapon of choice? Tomatoes. Lots and lots of tomatoes. Location? The town of Bunol in the Valencia region of Spain.
At 10 a.m., you can join tens of thousand of other participants as the first event begins. First, someone from the crowd must climb up a greased pole to release the ham placed on top. Once this is done, several trucks drive in carrying one hundred metric tons of tomatoes. Once the water cannons are fired signaling the beginning of the fight, the chaos begins! Every man or woman for themselves!
This is something I would definitely love to go to. I mean who doesn't love food fights? It sounds and looks like so much fun. This video speaks for itself. Oh, and for all you who are concerned about wasting food, the tomatoes aren't good for consumption anyway.Would you participate in La Tomatina? What other fun festivals are there?

OMG, unbelievable! It looked like so much fun.
Thats so going to stain the clothing... @_@
I would love to go to that; I have seen it on TV.
I'd love to participate, but I sort of like my brain cells. I don't particularly enjoy being knocked in the head with anything even remotely solid, but I do enjoy fair, [preferably] painless food fights. I know, I'm a wuss =].
:O what a waste of tomatoes! I lovee tomatoes. haha I'd go just to eat the tomatoes.
