We were unable to find the creator of National Banana Split Day. However, David Strickler's hometown of Latrobe, Pennsylvania, proudly celebrates his creation with a festival every August. In 2013, they placed an official marker at the site of the pharmacy where Strickler first made his famous banana split. Then, the United States Post Office honored the banana split and the town of Latrobe in 2016 with a 47-cent "forever stamp" depicting the banana split.  It was one of five stamps in the "Soda Fountain Favorites" series.  For a time, Latrobe residents could receive a cancellation mark memorializing their claim to fame.
