Some 22,000 people from around the world took part in the 2017 festival.
The town is drenched in ripe tomatoes, with around 150 tons of the food favorite being thrown during the 2017 event.
- Buckets are always a favorite tool during the tomato festival.
- Many, like the two women pictured here, end up falling flat out on the ground during the food fight.
- Some revelers are almost as squashed together as the tomatoes get.
- Revelers often struggle to stay on foot, due to the slippery conditions on the ground.
- But sometimes it all gets just a bit too squishy.
- The festival is now in its 72nd year.
- This woman looks to be in total bliss as she lays down on her back in the tomato pulp.
- Sometimes the best way to deal with the pulp is just to dive right in.
- The festival is now in its 72nd year.
