You are encouraged to throw to?matoes in the fight. There're many stories about how the festival began.

Before the to?mato fight,there are parades,musical bands, street parties and so on.
On the day of the fight,shopkeepers cover their windows and doors in order to keep away from the to?mato fight. At the same time,thousands of tourists and local people come to the town square together. Then large trucks full of tomatoes arrive. From the back of the large trucks,a great town band start to throw tomatoes at others. Then the crowds fight back,throwing the tomatoes at anything and anyone. Soon the streets are in the sea of red tomato juice.
