The story

Festival de la Pina Paradisiaca in La Parguera/Lajas

Held each June in the coastal community of La Parguera in Lajas, this festival celebrates the pineapple crop grown on the surrounding hillsides of Puerto Rico's southwest coast. Local growers haul in tens of thousands of pounds of fresh fruit for sale alongside pineapple-based dishes and desserts, with regional bands performing across the weekend and free admission for all attendees.

On the southwestern edge of Puerto Rico, where the coastal plain of Lajas meets the mangrove channels of La Parguera, farmers have grown pineapple on the region's dry, sun-baked hillsides for generations, a crop suited to soil that resists many other fruits.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

02

The mystery stays covered

Its setting in La Parguera, better known internationally for its bioluminescent bay, gives the festival an unusual pairing of agricultural pride and a well-known tourist waterfront

The city starts moving
