Note to recorder:
Hello again. This is a reading about Fascinanting festivals.
The Tomatina festival takes place on the last Wednesday in August in Buñol, Spain.
The 'tomato battle’ starts at 11 o'clock in the morning, and continues for two hours. During the Tomatina 35,000 people throw 125,000 kilos of tomatoes!
In January (the exact date changes every year) you can go to Ivrea in Italy and take part in the Carnevale d’lvrea. where people throw oranges at each other. If you don't want people to throw an orange at you, you have to wear a red hat!
Thailand has a Water Festival (Songkran) every April to celebrate the New Year. It starts on 13th April and lasts for two days. People throw water at each other all day and also at night.
