What you need to know
- The kids' battle is free, for ages 4 to 14 in Plaza del Pueblo, usually the Saturday before the main fight (Aug 22 in 2026); a 3-year-old can watch but not throw
- The main fight is not for kids: the last Wednesday of August, with about 22,000 ticket holders packed into narrow streets
- Early start and August heat: Buñol is about 40 minutes from Valencia by car or Cercanías C3, and the battle is at midday, so bring water, sun hats and a full change of clothes
About
Buñol's tomato fight has a version made for kids. The Tomatina Infantil is a smaller, calmer battle with the same squashed tomatoes and red-stained streets, minus the crush of the adult crowd. Family stays close by while kids throw. It happens a few days before the big fight, which has run in the town's streets since 1945.
