Come ready for live reggae music, food and merchandise vendors, banana-themed treats, a Children’s Zone, fashion and talent competitions, car shows, a banana-eating contest, and plenty more.

And if you really want to get into the spirit, dress yourself—or even your pet—in your best banana-inspired attire. 😂🍌
