The best part of summer is mango season! To celebrate the well-loved juicy fruit and the world's sweetest pineapple, the ‘Antigua Black Pineapple’; the PiAngo Fest returns to Cades Bay Agricultural Station this weekend on August 13 and 14.

The two-day family-friendly affair will showcase stalls loaded with a wide selection of mangoes and pineapples, mango trees, and fruit-related goodies such as confectionaries, sauces, and even cosmetic products, all made in Antigua and Barbuda and for sale.

There'll be fruit-eating contests, a mixologist mix-off and a grill-off with 3,500 cash prizes, an agro-processors competition, domino games, and a Kiddies Corner with face painting, rides, and other surprises. To make the festival even more exciting, Ibis the Livest and Kaution Band will provide live entertainment and performances by Menace XL and Ge'Eve.

Entry fee: $3 for children and $5 for adults. You can take a tour of Claremont Farms with free pineapple and mango tastings at an additional cost of $5 per person.
