A freeze in 1895 and two fires in 1908 and 1910 devastated the pineapple industry. Eventually, the entire pineapple farming vanished by 1920. All these events did not erase the history of the pineapple as the symbol of Jensen Beach. Pineapple signs are still visible on top of the storefronts and homes in Jensen Beach. There is also a Pineapple Festival still being celebrated. The Festival started during Jensen Beach’s centennial celebration in 1988. Today’s Jensen Beach Pineapple Festival is the largest of its kind in the region. The celebration lasts all weekend long with live music, street performers, and activities for all ages.
