South Fulton, TN: The Banana Festival - September 9th - 17th, 2022
“Why Bananas?” We don’t grow bananas here! While it is true our weather is not conducive to growing bananas, the twin cities have had a great impact on bananas in the United States
In about 1880 the Illinois Central Gulf Railroad was the first to develop refrigerated cars. Suddenly those not living in tropical regions could have the same fruits year-round that others enjoyed. Fulton, at the time, was home to a large railroad facility and became the redistribution point for the railroad because of its central location between New Orleans and Canada. The United Fruit Co, now Chiquita, began shipping bananas from South America by ship to New Orleans. The bananas were loaded onto railcars on top of 162-pound blocks of ice for the trip north. Fulton had the only ice house on the route north to Chicago.
This festival has everything plus banana pudding! With Banana cook-offs, parades, a circus, music, and of course, a banana eating contest!
