In the region of Valencia, in August, you better watch your head! Since 1945, the town has turned into an all-out tomato war zone. The festival takes place out of pure fun nowadays, but it’s said to have started from a little tiff between local youth and members of the Giants and Bigheads parade that ended in throwing some vegetables from a local stand at each other. It’s just a giant food fight, and it’s tons of fun!
