Every October the West Side Nut Club organizes and sponsors a Fall Festival on the west side of Evansville along Franklin Street with free entertainment, carnival attractions, a parade, a chance to win lots of money in the half pot contest, and 137 food booths ran only by non-profit organizations. This event attracts over 200,000 people to the West Side and is considered one the the largest street festivals in the United States!
There are all kinds of delicious bites you can find among the 137 food booths! From classic fair foods like funnel cakes and lemon shake-ups to corn dogs and anything deep-fried you can possibly imagine, you can find just about anything. One of the local's favorite things about the Fall Festival is the crazy weird foods you can't find anywhere else.
