Every year on the last Wednesday of August, the small Spanish town of Buñol turns blood red — in just one hour, around 130 tonnes of ripe tomatoes are hurled in the world's biggest tomato fight, La Tomatina. Botanically a fruit but a vegetable in the kitchen, the tomato truly reigns at festivals. From the hill town of Sutamarchán in Colombia to Reynoldsburg, Ohio — the "Birthplace of the Tomato" — many countries celebrate the tomato at different times of the year, mixing tomato throwing, cooking contests and lively fairs into one giant burst of laughter.

When the first chill of autumn arrives, pumpkins begin to rule the towns of the West — a grinning jack-o'-lantern on someone's porch, a rainbow display of thousands of pumpkins in a German palace garden, and a contest in America where giant pumpkins tip the scales at a thousand pounds. From October to November, the sweet pumpkin is the hero of harvest festivals around the world — art, food, sport and legend all rolled into one orange bundle.

Every late November the United States slips into two very different celebrations at once — Thanksgiving, the family holiday around a laden table, and Black Friday, the dawn-queue shopping frenzy that follows the next morning. In 2026 Thanksgiving falls on Thursday, 26 November, with Black Friday arriving on Friday, 27 November. The pairing looks accidental, yet behind it lies four centuries of history, political wrangling and the arithmetic of retail.
