If you have watched “Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara,” you likely share our excitement for the La Tomatina festival. La Tomatina is a Spanish festival held in Buñol, Spain. If you’ve always wanted to experience this festival, you can now do so right here in India. Hyderabad is all set to get messy—in the most fun, eco-conscious way possible! Inspired by Spain’s legendary La Tomatina, the city’s first tomato festival, ‘Toma Terra’, will be held on May 11, 2025, at Experium Eco Park. From DJ sets and food stalls to a thrilling tomato battle, the event promises a colorful carnival experience with a sustainable twist.
What Is Toma Terra?
Toma Terra is Hyderabad’s inaugural tomato festival, modeled after the world-famous La Tomatina held annually in Buñol, Spain. This Spanish festival gained widespread popularity in India after being featured in the 2011 Bollywood film Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara. Taking a cue from this high-energy celebration, Hyderabad’s version will blend desi flair with global revelry for a day of fun, food, and festivity.
The festival will be hosted at Experium Eco Park on May 11, 2025, and aims to recreate the excitement of La Tomatina while incorporating local culture and eco-conscious practices.
