Spain has especially many quirky festivals. Besides the tomato festival where “tomatoes flow like rivers,” there’s also Spain’s version of the water fight—but instead of water, they throw buckets of wine at each other. Every year on June 29th, the city of Haro, Spain holds a wine festival event. During this time, the town is filled with the aroma of wine, and parties go on non-stop—it's one of the most fun and entertaining festivals in Spain.

Haro is located in Spain’s La Rioja region and is well known for its abundant wine production. Here, wine is even cheaper than water—so instead of a water fight, they have a wine battle. This day also coincides with the religious feast of Saint Peter, an important celebration that locals eagerly anticipate. During the festival, thousands of tourists flock to the small town for a pilgrimage. On the night before the wine battle, the town hosts a large, lively party where people of all ages celebrate all night long, kicking off the following day’s wine dousing festivities.
