Can’t wait to go to the tomato fest
Can’t wait to get there and hear some great music
Be at the main stage at noon for great music!
Tomato fest is always a great time!
I am just commenting on the outrageous entrance price. Probably more folks and family could make it were it not so expensive. Some of us don’t drink and so paying for all inclusive tickets that include alcohol, etc. would be supporting others’ alcohol bills as well. Can’t you give prices that are all inclusive for those who wish to take advantage of everything and some prices that exclude some that do not? I have nothing against drinking, but my health doesn’t allow it.
Hey April, Tomato Art Fest is free and family-friendly. You must be referring to the VIP passes, which are completely optional. Besides the VIP tent, the rest of the festival is open and free. Hope this clears things up!
Who can I contact about the tomato festival I would like to bring a water walking ball to this event
Hey Mike, go to this page and scroll to the very bottom. There are some contacts listed who may be able to answer any questions you have.
Do the various vendors only sell tomato themed goods? Or do people sell what they normally make? This will be my first time attending!
