Overview
- Trucks have been loaded with 120,000 kg of pear tomatoes from Extremadura under a €54,912 municipal contract with Alius Trading, grown solely for the event and not for consumption.
- The one-hour tomato fight is scheduled for 12:00–13:00 on 27 August, with À Punt broadcasting live from 11:30.
- Organizers expect roughly 22,000 participants, and non-local attendees pay €15 for entry.
- Authorities urge travel by Cercanías line C-3 due to traffic and parking restrictions in Buñol’s center.
- The town will debut the Viajeros Solidarios platform to raise funds for repairs to the castle and other heritage damaged in October 2024, and coverage differs on whether this is the 78th edition or the 80th anniversary.
