Tasty Tomato is a celebration of locally grown food that highlights the the people who grow it, the restaurants who place it on their menus, the markets that sell it, and the people who eat it. Continuing its traditions of old-time festival fun, programming for the Tasty Tomato Festival will include a free heirloom tomato tasting, live music from two stages, local food, a craft beer garden, tomato bobbing, family fun activities, bloody mary’s, and signature cocktails, as well as crowning the winners of the highly anticipated Tasty Tomato Contest.

Sustainable Midlands, a champion of the region’s sustainable food efforts and festival founder, is producing this celebration of the tomato season. The festival will be held at City Roots Urban Farm in Columbia, SC.
