National Banana Pudding Festival 2022 | Centerville, TN — Lineup, Admission, and More

by The National Banana Pudding Festival, Inc.

National Banana Pudding Festival’s origins date back to 2010, when volunteers in Centerville, Tennessee found a way to raise money for local non-profits.

Throughout the years, the festival has grown, but its mission has remained the same. The first weekend of October each year brings thousands of people to RiverPark in Centerville, TN for the live music, national cook-off, Puddin’ Path, and more.

NBPF Reviews

Wishing there was just a little more variety in the festival every year. The first year we went was great. But it seems to be growing more expensive each year and yet nothing seems to be changing. All in all the banana pudding is good! And they have decent games for the kids.

– Sabreena Yandell

Yes it was hot. Yes, you got to sample 10 banana puddings from 10 nonprofits. Yes, they were all good.

– Libby Baughman

Fun times for everyone! Arts and craft vendors, food galore, wholesome entertainment, kid play area, pudding tastings, and pudding cook-offs. This is a great annual event!
