The Woodleaf Tomato Festival was held on Saturday, August 16, 2025. on the grounds of Unity Presbyterian Church, in Woodleaf, North Carolina. The event, in its 17th year, is a fundraiser for church and community outreach events. All things tomatoes were celebrated in the community that has been a center of tomato crops in the state for more than 125 years. Tomato sandwiches, tomato-eating and best-tasting tomato contests, and tomato shirts and costumes were featured, along with a 10 a.m. tractor and community participated parade, live music all day, vendors with crafts and other items, a silent auction, baked goods, and food provided by the West Rowan FFA and other vendors.
