Bunol Tomato Festival Participants Hosed Down

Hundreds of cheering, tomato-soaked revelers lined the streets of Bunol, Spain, on August 29, for the town’s annual Tomato Festival – when all involved hurl tomatoes at one another for an hour.The festival began in 1940s and has a good side effect for the town: All the acid from the tomatoes cleans the streets of a year’s worth of grime when the firetrucks hose down them – and the revelers – at the end.
