The essence of Tomato Art Fest can really be found in the array of wacky & hilarious contests, and the Push, Pull & Wear Parade kicking off tomato weekend, full of floats and costumes. True to our namesake, the ART gets a big part of the tomato spotlight, where The Tomato ART Show and Tomato Art PreView Party showcases over 300 tomato-inspired pieces throughout the weekend. 

Be the first to see the 2023 Tomato Art Show at the Pre View Party!  Guests can enjoy local snacks, drinks, and entertainment, plus you can purchase your favorite Tomato art pieces. Grab a ticket to browse and get your hands on some wonderful local art before festival weekend! This party is for tomato art enthusiasts and community supporters.

Tomato lovers line the streets of 5 Points to see the quirky and original parade entries every year.  Local bands and drumlines bring the excitement and get the crowds involved. We want to see your group marching proudly through East Nashville in your best tomato themes!  Push it, pull it, or wear it, it’s all the same to us, just bring that tomato spirit.  The parade is free for community groups to participate in, but registration is required.
