Tennessee’s Favorite Fall & Summer Festivals: Banana Pudding, Fun Fest & Remembering WWII

Tennessee is famous for community celebrations that bring neighbors and families together — from sweet traditions to summer fun and living history experiences. After attending the Southeast Festivals and Events Association (SFEA) Conference, I was reminded how powerful and joyful festivals are for towns and regions, celebrating local culture, supporting nonprofits, and creating lasting memories. Here are three must-know Tennessee festivals this year.

National Banana Pudding Festival — Centerville, TN

October 3–4, 2026 Official Banana Pudding Festival Site

Held at the Hickman County Ag Pavilion, the National Banana Pudding Festival celebrates one of the South’s most beloved desserts — banana pudding. What started in 2010 as a grassroots fundraiser for local nonprofits has grown into a beloved annual tradition that attracts thousands of visitors from across the region every October 1st weekend.

Festival Highlights:

  • Puddin’ Path tasting adventure featuring dozens of banana pudding creations.
  • National Banana Pudding Cook-Off with live judging and prizes.
  • Two stages of live music, almost 100 craft vendors, and kids activities including Little ’Nanners.
  • This festival draws crowds of thousands and raises funds for local causes through nonprofit participation.

Family Friendly: Perfect for all ages, with kid-centric activities, live music, local food and sweet sampling.

“Royal Restrooms has been exceptional in service, management, and quality of product. We have used them in a variety of environments and they always deliver. Thanks for everything.”

Chip, Event Logistics, Nashville, Tennessee

“The Hermitage could not be happier with our partnership with Royal Restrooms. The staff is friendly, attentive, and punctual and the facilities themselves are clean, functional units that work really well for all party sizes. We look forward to working with Evelyn Hunt and her staff for a long time to come!”

Samantha S., The Hermitage, Tennessee

“I had a wonderful opportunity to use Royal Restrooms for my daughter’s outdoor wedding in Franklin, Tennessee last May. They were pleasant to work with and extremely reliable. The restrooms were the hit of the event! All of the guests were amazed at how posh and elegant the facilities were. It became a “must see” of the wedding. I would highly recommend their services.”

Helene M., Nashville, Tennessee

“The Royal Restrooms are absolute top of the line when it comes to making your wedding, gala, or any special event a first-class memory. After 35 years in the event-planning business, I can truly say that Royal Restrooms are far and above any other portable facilities I have seen, and the staff are indeed a delight to work with. I recommend Royal Restrooms to anyone planning a memorable occasion and look forward to having Royal at our site again.”

Lowell F., Historic Cragfont Museum, Tennessee

“The Heritage Ball is the longest held Black Tie Event held in Williamson County Tennessee and it is also the largest tent party. It is held every September and we have used Royal Restrooms for the past several years and would highly recommend their company. They are very professional and extremely reliable regarding the delivery and service of their restrooms. They can help you plan for any problems that could arise and our guests are always very complimentary of these restrooms.”

Torrey B., The Heritage Foundation of Franklin & Williamson County, Tennessee

“We used Royal Restrooms for our daughter’s wedding in January. We were very pleased with the whole process of working with this organization. Evelyn was great to work with on the front end. She gave us very good information and quickly responded to every question we had. Travis delivered the restroom the day before the event and was very responsible in letting us know about timing and when he would be there, etc. We were working on a tight schedule, so it was great to be so aware of arrivals, etc. We worked with a lot of different vendors during this process and Royal Restrooms ranked right up at the top in professionalism and trustworthiness.”
