LaTomatina en Reno

Only in our beloved Reno, Nevada could such an event take place! This will be hosted by the Club Cal Neva on Saturday August 29th at approximately 6pm. The City Plaza at 10 North Virginia St. will be covered with people drenched in tomato juice as a crowd estimated to be between 3000-5000 people participate in the country's biggest tomato fight.

Admission in to the tomato fight is a minimum $10 donation with all the profit going to the American Cancer Society.

The event will begin at 1pm with street vendors populating Virginia Street between First and Second Streets. Visitors will be able to enjoy food, beverage and live street acts while they peruse for gifts and novelties from various local vendors. Live bands and other entertainment will also be showcased.

The day will climax at 6pm when roughly five tons of tomatoes will spill onto the City Plaza and thousands will scamble to pick up their ammunition for the biggest food fight the City of Reno, the State of Nevada and quite possibly the United States has ever seen.
