The Insider’s Guide to Tomato Art Fest
It’s Tomato Art Fest time, y’all! The tomato is a uniter, not a divider, and our executive producer Whitney Pastorek looks forward to this celebration of our local arts community — and our quirky, creative neighbors — every year. She sits down with festival organizer Jack Davis to give you the insider’s guide to the event that Nashville Scene readers consistently rate as the Best Festival in Nashville, from the bands and vendors to the parade and all the pro tips you need to enjoy yourself responsibly. Plus: A look back at the legacy of Tomato Art Fest, and what it means to the culture of East Nashville … and our entire city. Thanks to Tecovas, our Western wear faves, for being our exclusive launch sponsor!
