Spain is famous for its tomato festival, called La Tomatina. It happens in a small town Hanoi on the last Wednesday of August every year. During the festival there are all kinds of activities, but the most exciting part is the tomato fight. It takes place at the end of long celebration (庆祝). You are encouraged to throw tomatoes in the fight. There’re many stories about how the festival began.

On the day of the fight, shopkeepers cover their windows and doors in order to keep away from the tomato fight.

Soon the streets are in the sea of red tomato juice.
