This year Spain is celebrating its 64th Tomatina Fest. The event brings together over 40 000 tomato enthusiasts – armed with 100 tons of the red fruit – for an epic battle taking place in the small village of Buñol.

The festival is normally held on the last Wednesday of August. You can check out all the saucy action below. In case you are thinking of attending next year, here are the rules:

1. The tomatoes have to be squashed before throwing to avoid injuries.
2. No other projectiles except tomatoes are allowed.
3. Participants have to give way to the truck and lorries.
4. The festival doesn’t allow ripping off T-shirts.
5. After the second shot indicative of ending the tomato hurl, no tomatoes should be thrown.
