It began in the middle in 1940's. The origin is fight. one day, one person threw a tomato toward somebody, and the thrown person threw it to the person who threw it back in front of the vegetable store.

Although it was prohibited in 1951, it was reopened several years later by new rules. Now it became very popular festival.![](http://gigazine.jp/img/2007/08/31/tomatina/tomatoFight3.jpg)
