What started as
La Tomatina of Bunol, Spain, is now also a popular celebration in Sutamarchan, Colombia and even
Dongguan, China.
On June 14, locals of Sutamarchan and many tourists gathered on an old football field to stage Colombia’s
biggest food fight of the year. Around 15 tons of tomatoes were sacrificed in
La Tomatina this year. The food fight, inspired by the much more famous
Tomatina of Bunol, is part of a three day tomato celebration. A tomato-eating contest and a competition for the largest tomato, are also part of the celebration.
