The festival was mostly canceled last year due to the pandemic. Nut Club members still held the popular half pot raffle, which raises money for area non-profits.

The half pot is back this year, and tickets are now on sale.

As of 2:50 p.m. Monday, the first day of sales, the half pot was already at nearly $58,000 and climbing fast.

All the action is happening on West Franklin Street on Evansville’s west side.

You can take a live look from two cameras placed at the festival.

The Nut Club also announced the winners of this year’s window decoration contest.

American Family Insurance came in first, earning $2,000 for St. Phillips Catholic Church.

Paul’s Menswear took the second place prize of $1,000. They’ll split it between Ozanan Family Shelter and Corpus Christi Art Department.

Evansville Realty will give their $500 third place prize to It Takes a Village.
