UPDATE: The Tomato festival for 8/17 is cancelled. We had a rain plan for water falling from the sky but water coming from the ground is another story. We do not have water at Meadowbrook in Shawsville and unable to hold a food based festival without water and restrooms. We are just as disappointed and inconvenienced as you are. Unfortunately, the festival cannot be rescheduled for 2024.
The Eastmont Community Foundation presents the Annual Eastmont Tomato Festival on Saturday, August 17, 2024 at the Meadowbrook Center in Shawsville, VA.
Enjoy all things tomato! The free festival features contests for tomato art and tomato recipes, as well as competitions for biggest, ugliest and best-tasting tomato. Participants can also don their best tomato-themed outfits to compete in the ever-popular Tomato Pageant, and belly up to become the tomato-eating champion.
Enjoy great food (including fried green tomatoes, BLTs, pizzas, tomato sandwiches and tomato biscuits), live music, games, music, arts and crafts, and much more!
There is no entry fees for any of the contests and everyone is encouraged to join and enter multiple contests.
Admission is free and all are welcome. Parking is also free.
Craft vendors and artisans are wanted. To download a vendor application, visit: https://www.eastmontcf.com/s/tomato-vendor-app-24.pdf or email eastmonttomatofestival@gmail.com.
