- Pineapple tastings & street-food crawl — Vendors and tiny stalls pile up pineapple into everything: fresh-cut fruit, grilled slices, jams, and cocktails. It’s the fastest way to taste local varieties and eat well on a shoestring while chatting with the growers and cooks behind your snack.
- Farm tours and harvest demos — Walk straight from festival stalls to nearby pineapple fields where farmers show planting and harvesting up close. You’ll get the story behind the fruit, see simple farming techniques, and leave with a better appreciation for that sweet, gritty flavor.
- Live Bahamian music and dance — Stages and pop-up bands play everything from rake-and-scrape to soca-tinged sets; people dance barefoot on the sand or in the streets. It’s raw, immediate music — no shiny production, just percussion,

- Artisan market and pineapple crafts — Local makers sell carved fruit-wood pieces, woven straw goods, prints, and quirky pineapple-themed souvenirs you won’t find in airport shops. Watching artists work and haggling a little is half the fun.
- Parades, costume contests, and hands-on competitions — Expect colorful parades and playful contests (pineapple-eating, best pineapple dish, kids’ costume runs) that pull the whole community into the celebration. It’s where festival silliness meets local pride, and it’s great for people-watching.
