Pineapple Festival
Pineapples are not just common in Sarikei but the entire state of Sarawak. Sarikei Farmers began planting pineapples in the 1970s, and the fruit was officially recognised as the town’s main icon in 1998. Among the popular pineapples species are Madu, Moris and Paun. The Pineapple Festival is truly fun-filled as there are pineapple fashion shows, pineapple displays and cooking competitions. Be part of this annual celebration in Sarikei Central Market and get the chance to sample the juicy and sweet pineapples. Apart from pineapple, there are other local products that you can buy at the festival such as pepper, durian, and banana. Do check out the dates for the year’s festival and time your visit so you have the chance to experience this festival.
