It's almost time for Franklin Street to fill with food booths, carnival rides, and hundreds of thousands of people for one of Evansville's biggest traditions.

The 105th West Side Nut Club Fall Festival returns October 5 - 10, 2026, and if riding the rides is part of your Fall Festival plans, you can some money by buying your wristbands before you get there.

The West Side Nut Club has opened its presale for all-you-can-ride wristband vouchers for just $25 each.

Fall Festival Wristbands Are $25 During Presale

The $25 presale price is available through midnight on Sunday, October 4. After that, wristbands increase to $30 each at the Fall Festival ride ticket booths and online.

There is a $2.99 service fee per online transaction, but here's where families and groups can save a little more.

That fee is charged once per transaction rather than for each wristband. So if you're buying for several people, purchase all of your wristbands together.

For example, six presale wristbands with the fee cost $152.99, compared to $180 if you wait until the festival. That's a savings of just over $27.

How to Get Your Fall Festival Ride Wristband

Presale buyers will receive a voucher, which can be taken to the designated ride ticket location during the Fall Festival and exchanged for a wristband.

The 105th West Side Nut Club Fall Festival takes over Franklin Street in Evansville, October 5 - 10, bringing carnival rides, entertainment, and, of course, more food than any reasonable human could possibly eat in a week.

You can purchase your $25 presale wristband vouchers through the West Side Nut Club Fall Festival presale link before the October 4 deadline.
