Celebrating its 14th year in 2023, the National Banana Pudding Festival spotlights the ultimate Southern treat: banana pudding. Guests will enjoy two fun-filled days of entertainment on two stages, arts, crafts, food, games, activities for kids of all ages and, of course, plenty of banana pudding.

The event takes place from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Oct. 7 and from noon to 5 p.m. on Oct. 8. The nation’s Banana Pudding Champion will be selected at the live cook-off on Saturday morning, followed by an auction of competing cook-off puddings. Stroll through the “Puddin’ Path” and taste up to 10 different banana puddings made by local nonprofit organizations.

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