Bounty Day is a special celebration on October 24th for the people living on Pitcairn Island. It marks the day when their ancestors, a group of sailors and Polynesians, arrived on the island in 1790 on a ship called the HMS Bounty. To remember this important event, islanders come together to enjoy fun activities, like a big community meal and reenactments of the ship landing. People might dress up in old-style clothes and share stories about their unique history. This day is important because it helps the community remember their past and keep their traditions alive.
