Every October the West Side Nut Club organizes and sponsors a mammoth Fall Festival.
This is a week-long gala on the west side along Franklin Street with free entertainment, carnival attractions, over 130 food booths, amateur talent competitions and on the last day, a huge parade.
This event attracts over 200,000 people to the West Side & is considered to be one of the largest street festivals in the United States.
The West Side Nut Club also holds a halfpot during the event and the halfpot total was $1,639,870 in 2022
