“Signature events include a parade, a 5K race/walk, tomato contests, a spaghetti-eating competition and a polar plunge. The festival mascot, Stew the tomato, will be waltzing throughout the events for meet-and-greets and photo-ops.

The Pittston Tomato Festival Parade, now in its 42nd year, is held in downtown Pittston on Saturday at 11 a.m. [23 Aug]… Floats of all kinds will meander the town’s center along a two mile route.”
