Porto Grande, in central Amapá, has a history linked to farming and the movement of produce from the interior. Before becoming a municipality in 1992, it was part of Macapá; its administrative district had been created in 1951. Pineapple, orange and maize cultivation help explain the rural identity that accompanies the growth of its urban centre.
The Pineapple Festival turns this agricultural connection into a celebration and a meeting place for residents and visitors. Rivers, bathing areas and rock formations form another dimension of the municipal landscape. Between agricultural production and waterside recreation, Porto Grande offers a view of inland Amapá shaped by farm work and the relationship with nature.
