The story

Eleuthera Pineapple Festival in Gregory Town

Eleuthera Pineapple Festival is a two-day early-June celebration in Gregory Town marking the local pineapple harvest and the island's history as a major pineapple exporter before the industry declined in the twentieth century. Expect pineapple prepared as jam, pie, wine and grilled dishes, a small parade, craft vendors and music filling the compact downtown for the weekend.

Eleuthera Pineapple Festival celebrates Gregory Town's identity as the historic center of Bahamian pineapple farming, a two-day early-June event built around the fruit that once anchored the island's export economy.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Eleuthera's pink, well-drained soil produces pineapples noted for being sweeter and more intensely flavored than commercially grown varieties, and the festival timing around the June harvest means visitors taste fruit picked at genuine peak ripeness rather than fruit shipped for supermarket shelves

02

The mystery stays covered

The event also functions as a piece of living economic history, marking the decline of an export trade that once defined Gregory Town, through tastings, a small parade and a produce market rather than a formal museum

03

The city starts moving

Pairing the festival with Gregory Town's status as a Bahamian surfing hub gives visitors a natural reason to extend the stay beyond the festival weekend itself
