​NE​WS & EVENTS​
The Rollingstone Pineapple Festival is an annual event held in Rollingstone/Balgal Beach, North Queensland. The Rollingstone Community Association, the local Lions Club, and local businesses including Pace Farming, Accorsini Pty Ltd, Berra Farming, and N.Q. Paradise Pines put on the event. This year's Pineapple Festival like so many other events have been cancelled due to the Pandemic and made planning impossible. With an ever-evolving format, of markets, workshops and music throughout the day, Pineapple Throw, tug-o-war, tractor pull and not so traditional games - pineapple de-topping competitions for the Men, Women and Juniors. plus kids activities and plenty of games, it is a fun family day in support of local farmers and the local community. PINE FEST is a licensed event celebrating the pineapple harvest.
