Wake Forest’s Meet in the Street is a daylong fun-filled event that expected to draw at least 15,000 people on Saturday, May 3, to shop, enjoy the music, the food and the entertainment.
It is larger this year, stretching along three downtown streets, and that means more people are needed to man different posts and keep the fun going all day long.
Volunteers are needed on two-hour shifts from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m., and there are also opportunities to volunteer on Friday, May 2, for the early preparations.
If you can give two hours or more, you are asked to email Sherry Forbes at wfmeetinthestreet@gmail.com as soon as possible, hopefully this week. There will be training for the volunteers in late April.
On May 3, visitors and town residents will find food trucks, the Carolina Hurricanes Storm Squad with Stormy, a children’s carnival, a beer garden, a bicycle safety course, face painting, a fire truck, an activity truck where you can make your own tie dye and a performance plaza.
The entire downtown area will be blocked off with over 100 artists and artisans showing their wares as well as the downtown merchants. In the performance plaza there will be Cirque De Vol, martial arts, cheerleading, demonstrations and other local performances. There will be live music on the main stage near the beer garden by East Coast Rhythm & Blues Band, David Dixon Acoustic, The Will McBride Group and additional performances by Flow Circus in the performance area.
