Tomato Festival (Pumidorfest)

The tomatoes come in hundreds of shapes and sizes, but we in Lopar believe ours are the best of all. We think it is because of the particularly favourable climate and soil, but also because of the love we pour in growing our tomatoes. We call them pumidor. Flower of tomato is part of our town herald and we can hardly think of a hearty authentic dish that does not include our heavenly tomatoes.
Pumidorfest gathers our restaurants that are proudly offering seasonal tomato dishes featuring locally grown tomatoes. The climax of the pumidorfest is an open-air food fair mid of August. At front of Camping San Marino in Paradise Beach, there is a fierce cooking competition in preparing salsa and other tomato dishes are available for tasting, with music and entertainment programme.

Check the event poster for the list of participating restaurants.
