The tradition of throwing tomatoes and other vegetables began in the year 1945 when young people were attending a festival in Bunol and the complete mood of festivity; they stormed a stage of musicians and began to dance. As a result of this, one of the musicians fell from the stage knocking over a market of fruits and vegetables on the festival-goers. Those who were attending started to pick up and pelt them at one another. Those of who remembered this incident from the last year brought tomatoes to relive the same event. The tradition has followed till date as well.
