It features good old-fashioned fun with games and rides for everyone, crafts and collectibles, free concerts, continuous entertainment, a classic car cruise-in and car show, unique food booths, a banana split eating contest and of course the "make your own" banana split booth.

The entertainment includes classic rock ‘n’ roll, R&B, Jazz, gospel and country music concerts. New this year is the OSU Buckeye Mobile Tour and a Heather’s Hope Lickety-Split 5K run. Back this year is a weekend long baseball tournament. Lots of fun for the kids with a dunking booth, KidZone, pony rides and a variety of street games. One of the highlights of the Banana Split Festival is the make-your-own banana split booth and the Masters Competition where local chefs create their own banana split, followed by the popular Banana Split Eating contest.
