PUDDING PREP FOR THE PEOPLE: THE MAKING OF THE 2023 BANANA FESTIVAL ONE TON BANANA PUDDING SEPT. 15

Young and old gathered Sept. 15, the evening before the 2023 Banana Festival Grande Parade, to prepare the star of the show on Saturday, the famous one-ton banana pudding. Hundreds of bananas were sliced, cases of vanilla wafers were layered, and loads and loads of custard carefully spread to put together the delicious delicacy served to thousands. The pudding was constructed at Kingdom Harvest Church in South Fulton and kept in a refrigerated truck overnight before taking its place of honor in the parade.
