A week-long festival leads up to the big tomato fight, which includes parades, fireworks and even a paella cooking contest. What does La Tomatina mean today? A week before the last Wednesday in August, the festivities of this Spanish festival begin in full swing. Parades, fireworks, music, dancing and the paella cook-off contest draw visitors to Buñol for the annual fiesta. When the last Wednesday in August finally approaches, the day of the great battle dawns. The streets of Buñol are now hosting 20,000 local folks and tourists. The festivities begin from 11am and 1pm, when trucks loaded with around 125,000 kilos of ripe tomato ammo roll into the Plaza del Pueblo. Now the tomato wars go on till the whole town is painted red. There are about four rules that the participants need to follow: The tomatoes have to be squashed before throwing to avoid injuries. No other projectiles except tomatoes are allowed. Participants have to make way for the truck and lorries. After the second shot indicative of ending the tomato hurl, no tomatoes should be thrown. A traditional holiday, the festival is celebrated near the end of February and the arrival of spring. The golden-brown round-shaped pancakes are said to represent the round yellow sun that has appeared after the cold winter days. The piping hot, crisp, golden-brown pancakes are served with butter, jam, fruit preserves, and – for those with expensive tastes – caviar! Other activities on Maslenitsa, include bonfires, traditional Russian songs, and dances, fireworks, puppet shows, riding on swings, sledding, etc. The last day of the festival is called “Forgiveness Sunday” – on which people ask forgiveness from God and each other, for their wrong doings. Mangoes are called “the king of fruits”. The delicious mango is seen at the festival in all its glory. Begun in 1987, the festival attracts more visitors with each passing year. Prizes are awarded in various categories to mango growers and producers at the end of the event. More than 550 varieties of mango are exhibited at the festival. You can taste different mango dishes, mango juice, mango ice-cream, and mango desserts and anything else with mango in it! A mango-eating contest, where contestants try to eat as many mangoes as they can in a limited time, is another highlight of the event. Oktoberfest is usually held every year from the last week of September to the first week of October. If one is looking for fresh beer, bratwurst, and traditional German sausages, then one must head to Munich for the Oktoberfest. Apart from numerous varieties of beer on offer, visitors feast on traditional Bavarian cuisine and enjoy the local music. The festival begins with a 12-gun salute and tapping of a beer keg. Visitors dress in Bavarian hats and traditional trousers or lederhosen and the waitresses serving the beer wear traditional Bavarian peasant costumes.
