The West Side Nut Club Fall Festival has done it again! For the third consecutive year, this beloved Evansville tradition has been voted the Best Fall Festival in the United States by the USA TODAY 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards. This incredible honor shines a spotlight not only on the festival but also on the spirit of the community that makes it all possible.

The Fall Festival is a Beloved Evansville Tradition

This award is more than a title – it’s a celebration of the volunteers, vendors, families, and visitors who come together each October. Their dedication and enthusiasm are the heartbeat of the West Side Nut Club Fall Festival. Without their tireless efforts and love for the event, achieving the #1 spot three years running would not have been possible.
