2026 National Banana Pudding Festival

About the event

Celebrating our 17th year in 2026 the National Banana Pudding Festival celebrates the ultimate Southern Treat: Banana Pudding. Guests will enjoy two fun-filled days (October 3, 9am-5pm and October 4, Noon-5pm, 2025) 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. Proceeds benefit local non-profits.
