See you tomorrow at Meet in the Street.

Between Meet in the Street hosted by the Wake Forest Area Chamber of Commerce, HerbFest and the Wake Forest Farmers Market – there is no shortage of happenings in Wake Forest Downtown this Saturday!

Check out this handy parking map to ensure you snag a spot in an appropriate location!🚗 Free parking is available along several side streets throughout downtown and lots on the campus of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary.

Please Note: Some downtown parking lots may appear to be public, when in fact they are private, such as the Renaissance Plaza parking lot. Please be sure to read all signage in the parking lot to determine what type of lot you are using. Private lots are intended for business patrons only. Public lots that are open to event attendees are clearly marked.

The Painted Farmhouse is so excited to be part of this new concept at Meet in the Street on May 2nd. Come see me to sniff your favorite soy wax candles with wooden wicks!

🎨✨ Something NEW is coming to our 44th Annual Meet in the Street!

We’re excited to introduce our Artisan Village in partnership with ARTS Wake Forest and Wake Forest Guild of Artists , a curated space filled with handcrafted, one-of-a-kind, and beautiful creations. From unique artwork to handmade goods you won’t find anywhere else, this is the perfect spot to discover something special (and support incredibly talented artists while you’re at it!).

Make sure to stroll through the depot lot to shop small, and soak in the creativity on Saturday, May 2nd. You won’t want to miss it!
