According to an announcement on Wake Forest's official website, the concert will take over South White Street from 6 to 9 p.m., offering attendees three hours of high-energy music in the heart of downtown at no charge.
Visitors won't go hungry with food options aplenty. Downtown restaurants will serve up their specialties alongside a variety of food and dessert trucks, including VFW Chuck Wagon, Virgil's Jamaica, and Lumpy's Ice Cream, found in the Depot Parking Lot at 110 S. White St., and along East Owen Avenue. Featured menus can be perused on the Town's website or by using the Town's app, highlighting the Friday Night on White's Food Trucks section.
For those looking to enjoy a pint, beer sales start at 5 p.m. within the concert's footprint. Tokens from White Street Brewing and tickets from Norse Brewing are available for purchase in advance or at the event, redeemable for a beer. Venturing beyond the event, patrons must carry their beverages in an approved Wake Forest Social District Cup to comply with the regulations, keeping the vibe responsible and regulated.
Social responsibility is also at the forefront of the evening, with event organizers earnestly requesting parents and caregivers to supervise their children, ensuring that the spirit of FNOW remains preserved for its downtown merchants and patrons. Amidst libations and celebrations, the civility and safety of the community remain paramount, articulated by a gentle plea of guidance toward the youth.
As for logistics, concertgoers planning to leverage ride-sharing services like Uber or Lyft are advised to set Wake Forest Town Hall as their drop-off and pick-up point. Parking is available at designated public lots and Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, with private lots clearly marked to avoid any confusion for those attending. With inclement weather ever a possibility, updates regarding any schedule changes will promptly be communicated through the Town's channels, including their website, Nextdoor site, Facebook page and app notifications.
