National Banana Pudding Festival

Celebrating their 14th year, the National Banana Pudding Festival benefits local non-profits and celebrates the ultimate Southern Treat: Banana Pudding.

Guests will enjoy two fun-filled days (October 7, 9am-6pm and October 8, Noon-5pm, 2023) of entertainment on two stages, arts, crafts, food, games, activities for kids of ALL ages, and — of course — Banana Pudding.

The nation’s Banana Pudding Champion is selected at the live cook-off Saturday morning followed by an auction of competing cook-off puddings. Stroll through the “Puddin’ Path” and taste up to ten different banana puddings made by local non-profit organizations.

This award-winning festival has received the SFEA Best Festival Award and been named a Southeast Tourism Society Top 20 Event.
