2. La Tomatina, Spain

Last Wednesday in August. Tomato buffs rejoice for this is your festival. Each year tens of thousands of people descend on Bunol for La Tomatina , the culmination of a week long celebration of Bunol’s patron saint .An estimated 125,000kg of tomatoes are used ,driven into the town square by a convoy of trucks. Drunken participants dive in, hurling the fruit at each other until the streets run red like the sickest splatter film and then it’s over –within an hour .
