Wake Forest Meet in the Street

Meet in the Street is a fun way to enjoy downtown. There are craft vendors and local organizations with booths. They have two different stages with bands and local groups performing (karate and cheerleaders) were the ones that I saw. I love that they added Food trucks. So fun and a great variety. For kids they have two bounce house, a safety bike riding area, face painting and other activities. It is usually crowded so try to go early.

Wake Forest Meet in the Street is something I look forward to each year. It is a time where the town shuts down a street (or two) and features the downtown businesses, arts and crafts, vendors, organizations, and just gives the town an excuse to venture downtown to see what they have been missing.
Hubs and I live in Downtown WF so we walk to the event, which is a huge advantage with the folks I see looking for parking each year. This year, the event was on Taylor Street, Brooks Street, and White Street! Also a new addition to MITS was the Beer Garden at White Street Brewery. For those folks like me without kids, it was nice to browse around shopping for some pottery items, and then sit down at the Beer Garden, and watch the featured band on the main stage (also on White Street).
For those of you with kids, this is a great place for the whole fam! Taylor street was mostly the «kid friendly» area with face painting, bike riding area, the WFFD has a mock burning house (always a crowd pleaser, oh and it is less intimidating and dangerous than it sounds), and overall good kid fun!
If you live in the WF area, or surrounding area and want a great way to start off the spring/​summer outdoor events, this is a great way to do it each year! It is usually held the last weekend of April, or first weekend of May.
Another reason to love living in WF!
