The 23rd Annual Tomato Art Fest returns to Historic Five Points in East Nashville on August 7 & 8, bringing two days of art, live music, local food, shopping, costumes, family activities, and plenty of tomato-themed fun.

Friday kicks off the weekend with opening festivities and the beloved Push, Pull & Wear Parade, setting the stage for a weekend full of creativity and community. On Saturday, enjoy live music on multiple stages, browse the Tomato Art Show featuring hundreds of original works, shop local vendors, cheer on the festival's famously quirky contests, and explore activities for all ages throughout Five Points.
Whether you're a longtime attendee or making your first visit, the Tomato Art Fest is a true East Nashville staple and one of the city's most unique annual traditions. Costumes are encouraged, admission is free, and there's no better way to spend a summer weekend celebrating one of Nashville's most creative neighborhoods.
