A New Way to Plan Your Week

Is it just me, or is 2026 absolutely flying by? It’s hard to believe that one of the year’s biggest events of the year – the West Side Nut Club Fall Festival – is almost here. The Nut Club is stepping up its digital game in a big way with a brand-new mobile app that will make the Fall Festival even more enjoyable for the hundreds of thousands of people that descend upon Franklin Street.

Fall Festival Planners Versus Wanderers

I would assume that most Fall Festival veterans make a plan for the week, laying out which booths they’re gonna visit for lunch and/or dinner each day, which nights to come back of the entertainment, how many half pot tickets to buy, which rides to ride, where to set up for the parade, and other really important decisions. But there’s also something kinda fun about going into the week with no plan whatsoever – just moseying down Franklin Street until something grabs your eye or your appetite.

What the New Fall Festival App Offers

Whatever approach you take, the new Fall Festival app has you covered. It puts everything you need right on your phone – food booths, rides, nightly entertainment, and all the Half-Pot details. And of course, the app is completely free!

We are excited to offer festival-goers another way to experience the Fall Festival. With so much happening throughout festival week, having important information available in one convenient place will help visitors make the most of their time on Franklin Street. ~Ryan Beck, 2026 West Side Nut Club Fall Festival Chair
