Talk:West Side Nut Club Fall Festival

Size of Festival
This is in no way the second largest street festival in America. Chicago, New York and Miami all have multiple festivals of larger size and attendance. A quote by Paul Harvey should not be cited as fact. It's a fact he said it, it is not a fact itself.

Just because Chicago, Miami, and and New York are much bigger cities does not mean that they have bigger street festivals. Mardi Gras and the Nut Club Festival are both regarded as the two largest festivals in America by many people Not from this area, even by many residents OF the above mentioned cities.


 * How do you calculate "size of festival"? It's a completely vague measurement. Are we talking number of vendors? Area covered? Number of attendees? I don't think this festival is in the top 5 of any of these categories, but since it can't be accurately judged, it should be removed. It counts as "Trivia", and trivia is not encouranged on Wikikpedia.

Furthermore there are many much smaller towns in Indiana that annually host larger street festivals than any of the three larger cities do. The Owensville Watermelon Festival in nearby Owensville, Indiana usually hosts around 20,000 people in four days, nearly ten times the town's population of just over 2,000 people. Nearly every community in the area annually hosts a festival of at least 8 times the resident population. Many communities in Illinois and Kentucky do as well. It's one of the traits that Midwestern and Southern small towns and cities share. While New Orleans is only about 2½ times the size of Evansville, both cities share much the same small town additude as does the largest city in Florida, which is Jacksonville by the way, NOT Miami!


 * This a very interesting, but completlely pointless sidebar to the issue. Yes, small towns due often have large festivals, but that has nothing to do with the fact that this particular festival is not second in the nation in size.

 * It is not the 2nd largest, or even 10th largest. You're just right. 131.106.206.46 (talk) 17:59, 10 October 2023 (UTC)
