You better come hungry to this Best of Indiana Fall Festival.  The 2017 winner is the West Side Nut Club Fall Festival in Evansville. This week-long October gala features free entertainment, carnival attractions, a huge parade, and over 136 food booths. The food is the star of the show with exotic choices like alligator stew, chocolate-covered grasshoppers and brain sandwiches. This event attracts over 200,000 people and is considered to be one of the largest street festivals in the United States. The West Side Nut Club formed in 1921 as a group of businessmen. Ever since, they’ve held this annual festival to raise money for charities and non-profits.

In third place is Harvest Homecoming located on the beautiful Ohio River in New Albany. What began as a three-day pumpkin festival is now a 50-year-old event that includes the annual crowning of the Harvest Queen, a parade, rides, entertainment at the amphitheater on the river, crafts, and food.
