The La Tomatina festival takes place annually in Buñol, Spain, where over 20,000 participants engage in a massive tomato fight. The festival involves grabbing the ham from a grease pole, firing a cannon to commence the tomato throwing, and partaking in a hour or two long tomato fight using overripe tomatoes grown specifically for the event. Afterwards, firemen help clean up the participants and town.
