Tomato Art Fest August 13, 2010

For one day out of the year, Music City celebrates friends, neighbors, family and tomatoes at the highly anticipated Tomato Art Fest, to be held Saturday, August 14 in Historic East Nashville. Voted Best Festival three years in a row by the Nashville Scene Readers Poll, the Seventh Annual Tomato Art Fest promises live music, one-of-a-kind contests, kid-friendly events, art, fashion, food and fun. Last year, twenty thousand attendees from around Middle Tennessee filled the streets of East Nashville's Five Points ready to celebrate the tomato. A community builder, the Tomato Art Fest has grown steadily since its humble beginning in 2004. What started as a Tomato Art Show at Art & Invention Gallery has grown into an all-day event, including live music, various tomato contests, and many more activities for all ages. After all, the Fest's motto is "The Tomato...A uniter not a divider...bringing together fruits and vegetables."
