A Tasty Tradition at the Eleuthera Pineapple Festival

Pineapple farming has long been a core economic foundation in Eleuthera and while economies ebb and flow, Eleuthera has made the celebration of all things pineapple a constant since the first festivities were held in 1988. Because pineapple farmers contribute significantly to Eleuthera’s overall financial success, they are seen as superstars during this four-day festival that will be held between June 6th and June 9th in 2019. Agricultural heritage is the focal point of this festival and locals’ welcome visitors to the pineapple fields Eleuthera in with open arms as time is set aside to simply revel in the wonder that is this delicious fruit and all it has contributed to the island over time.
