Where Every Family Matters

Family Fun Awaits at the Tomato Art Fest

Sink your teeth into this family-friendly arts festival celebrating all things TOMATO!

The Tomato Art Fest will take place this year on Friday, August 8th from 5 – 10 p.m. and Saturday, August 9th from  9 a.m. – 7 p.m. at Five Points East Nashville (1024 Woodland St, Nashville).

“The Tomato. A uniter, not a divider – bringing together fruits + vegetables!”

Located in Historic East Nashville’s Five Points, Tomato Art Fest is a two-day celebration that is for all ages and is free to attend!

Join for a fun and wacky time full of art, music, food, costumes, contests, shopping, kids activities (like a special tomato storytime!) and more!

Some of the crowd-favorite Tomato Art Fest contests will be held throughout the day under the Contest Tent: including the Haiku Contest, Beautiful Tomato and the Costume Contest. Plus, the Biggest, Littlest and Ugliest Contest winners will be on display under the tent starting at 2 p.m.

Live Music & Entertainment

Every year you can expect to see some of East Nashville’s finest musicians take the stage at Tomato Art Fest. With 2 stages around the festival and pop-up performances throughout the day, everywhere you go, you are sure to hear great music.
