They took fruit from a nearby food stand and throw it at one another. Passers-by joined in their fight. Everyone had so much fun that it became a yearly festival.

On the morning of the festival, people begin to gather at the town's main plaza. At 11 o'clock, tons of tomatoes arrive and are poured out onto the crowd. Tomatoes start flying everywhere and soon everything is covered in red tomato juice. People shout and have great fun. Two hours later, the fight ends and everyone helps to clean up.
