The weekend continues to draw larger crowds as people roam the streets of East Nashville to eat and experience all the fun this festival has to offer. The main highlight of the weekend is centered around the float parade, which starts Saturday morning at 9 a.m.
Team Tomato invites all to participate in this parade of floats that can be pushed, pulled, carried, or worn. The fun continues with activities like a Bloody Mary contest, Beautiful Tomato Pageant, cornhole tournament, and so much more.
