Tennessee community festival honors the tomato
CBSN
Every August, something big happens in the small community of East Nashville, Tennessee, that has residents seeing red. It's not the red one sees out of anger; rather the red one sees in love – love for the tomato.
For 18 years now, residents of this small community gather in the Five Points area of town to parade, drink and devour the seasonal treat. And after a difficult year, one that brought both a tornado and a global pandemic to this thriving arts community, there was definitely a need for a celebratory get-together. Jack Davis, director of Tomato Art Fest, says this year's festival will draw more people to the festival because people are eager to just get out.More Related News
