Personally, one of my favorite festivals in our region. I love the food. And Pittston has a large Italian population that KNOWS thier food! I'll be there on Saturday enjoying the eats.

God I wish I could go...The food is Fabulous....And I am pretty sure there is a Tomato battle royale....I think.... www.pittstontomatofestival.org or a similiar site. www.pittstontomatofestival.com ..... may be more accurate.... And being mainly Italian I can vouch for the food...LOL.

The Pittston tomato fights are always a good time. Sadly, though, people don't get nearly as disrobed as the pictures that were posted! This is the one time of year that Tomato Town actually gets a steady influx of tourists, and I can only hope some of these out-of-staters see some potential in the community and consider opening up new downtown business ventures.
