Best Things To Eat At Evansville Indiana's Fall Festival

The 104th West Side Nut Club Fall Festival is officially in full swing, and if there’s one thing Evansville knows how to do right, it’s food on Franklin Street!

From savory to sweet, deep-fried to drizzled, this week-long celebration is packed with more than 130 booths from area non-profits and charitable organizations serving up the most creative, nostalgic, and downright irresistible eats you’ll find anywhere in the country. I mean, there's a reason why it's been voted The Best Fall Festival in the Nation 3 years in a row!

We have been asking festival-goers to share the best thing they ate this year, and your photos do not disappoint! From fan-favorites like pronto pups, brain sandwiches, and strombolis, to inventive must-tries like deep-fried cookie dough, donut burgers, and chili cheesecake, everyone’s taste buds are winning this week.
