Since 1976, more than 1,500 pairs of twins from around the world have gathered annually in Twinsburg, Ohio, to celebrate Twins Days. Known as the “Largest Annual Gathering of Twins in the World” by Guinness World Records, the August 2–4 event boasts parades, look-alike contests, and talent shows to honor the twins who founded the town in 1818 midway between Cleveland and Akron.
You say “tomato,” I say “festival.” The 21st annual Tomato Art Fest returns to Five Points in East Nashville August 9 & 10 to celebrate the perfect union of fruits and vegetables. The festival and parade are free to attend and include tomato-themed art, food, contests, and shopping, plus live music. Don’t forget your tomato costume!
