Tomato Festival
August 7, 2021, at George H.P. Smith Park
The Biggest Tomato at Market Contest!
The Historic Lewes Farmers Market Tomato Festival will take place at the market on Saturday, August 7. This year there will be The Biggest Tomato at Market Contest. To enter the contest, growers should bring their tomatoes to the market between 8 and 9 am. Contest participants must have grown the tomato themselves. Tomatoes may be heirloom or hybrid but must be edible. The largest tomato will be judged by weight as determined by the judges. The variety of each tomato must be identified on the entry form with contact information. All tomatoes must be washed and clean. Tomatoes will be weighed by 9:30am, and then the winners and all entries will be displayed with grower’s name at The Biggest Tomato at Market Tent in the middle of the Market, and first and second place ribbons will be awarded.
At the festival there will also be the Guess the Number of Tomatoes in the Jar contest, Biggest Tomato at Market Contest, and a demo by Cape Gazette food writer Denise Clemons at 10 am. Heirloom, cherry, and slicer tomatoes will be in abundance. The market holds the festival each year to celebrate National Farmers Market Week, which this year takes place August 1-7.
