- 47,000 visitors on October 8 — a single-day record
- 2 hours average visit duration (up from 2024)
- 35% of attendees visited the rides area
- $8.3 million total economic impact
- $3.8 million in food booth sales benefiting local non-profits
- 5.6 million total social media views
- 210,000+ new website visitors
“The Fall Festival having an economic impact of $8.3 million dollars is a phenomenal stat,” says WSNC Board Member Brandon McClish. “Obviously the nation’s largest half pot helps with that, but having $3.8 million that goes directly to our non-profit organizations through their booths is something to showcase. The half pot will continue to grow with new advancements thanks to the WSNC team behind it, but we’ll always highlight our non-profit food booths as the heart of the festival. The same year we broke our record with a $2.6 million half pot, 28 organizations also broke their own records with booth sales.”…
