SARIKEI: The Pesta Nanas, widely known as the pineapple festival, is a celebration organised to promote the town of Sarikei as an agricultural growth and distribution centre of Sarawak.
First introduced in 2004, the annual event had entered its fourth year of celebration. From 2004 to 2006, the event was held at the Sarikei Civic Centre; this year it was at the Wholesale Collection Centre of Rejang Port Authority, Jalan Wharf.
Visitors continued to increase year after year and they came not only from Sarikei district but from other districts of Sarawak as well. The event also enabled members of various communities in the state to come to gather and mingle. This also helped to further strengthen unity among the people besides enhancing racial harmony and integration.
