29th Annual Meet in the Street® Festival - A Celebration of Art and Artisans
For 28 years, people in the Wake Forest community have gathered to enjoy one of the largest family-friendly festivals in the region. A crowd of more than 10,000 is expected to descend upon the historic business district of Downtown Wake Forest for the 29th Annual Meet In The Street® on Saturday, May 2nd. The event is held from 10:00am-4:00pm and is free and open to the public.
While there, visitors will have the chance to acquire some wonderful hand-made arts and crafts. Approximately 100 vendors from all over the Southeast proudly show off their handiwork at Meet In The Street®. You can find beautiful paintings, jewelry and home décor, as well as many unique handcrafted items that make this annual event a celebration of local art and artisans.
Be sure to stop by the Children’s Village. There you will find games and activities. Come with an appetite, as the Food Village will be stocked with all of your festival favories.
The entire family will be entertained by local dancers, singers and musicians on two performance stages. As always, you can meet up with some of the Triangle’s favorite mascots.
Meet In The Street® is sponsored by WakeMed. The annual festival is organized by the Wake Forest Area Chamber of Commerce and made possible by the volunteer efforts of Chamber members. Special thanks to The Wake Weekly for their media sponsorship.
