Celebrate America's favorite garden plant at Historic Wagner Farm's Tomato Fest. Learn all about this delicious vegetable (or is it a fruit?), see how it grows, taste different varieties and tomato-based recipes, play games, and so much more! Entry to Tomato Fest is free and tickets for activities and tastings can be purchased onsite.

Tickets for activities will be sold in $1 increments. Ticket-based activities range between 1-15 tickets. Most activities will be ongoing throughout the event. Free activities include a photo booth, a scavenger hunt, demonstrations, a community-based art project and tomato-themed games. Ticket-based tastings include grilled cheese with tomato soup, less traditional tomato-based recipes and a special Bloody Mary bar (alcohol optional).

New at this year's Tomato Fest, enjoy music throughout the day by students at School of Rock. Our spaghetti eating contest starts at 12:30 pm. Sign up onsite by 12:15 pm and twirl, slurp, and savor your way to victory!

Free parking is available in the lot across from the Wagner Farm House or in the Saints Peter and Paul Greek Orthodox Church lot at Lake Ave. and Wagner Rd.
