West Side Nut Club: A Century of Service, A Future of Giving

Since 1921, the West Side Nut Club has been a driving force in Evansville, strengthening our community through volunteerism, tradition, and philanthropy. What started as a small group of dedicated individuals has grown into a powerful organization that hosts one of the largest street festivals in the nation, supports local schools, funds charitable initiatives, and brings people together through service. Whether it's through our renowned Fall Festival, year-round community projects, or scholarships for the next generation, we are committed to making a lasting impact. Join us in preserving our legacy and shaping the future—one act of kindness at a time.

Serving Our Community with Heart, Hands, and Hard Work

For over 100 years, the West Side Nut Club has been a cornerstone of Evansville, dedicated to strengthening our community through service, tradition, & philanthropy. What began in 1921 as a small group of businessmen united by a shared passion for giving back has grown into a thriving organization that supports local schools, funds charitable initiatives, and brings thousands of people together through events like the annual West Side Nut Club Fall Festival.
Today, we continue that legacy—uplifting Evansville through volunteer efforts, scholarships, and contributions that shape a better future. Every dollar raised and every project completed is a testament to our unwavering commitment to service.
