ABOUT ME

Always having a penchant for picking up new hobbies, I began teaching myself how to play guitar at the age of 12. When I wasn’t practicing sleight-of-hand you could find me in my room slaving away on the latest tab I was attempting to learn. 

A few years into learning guitar I began to take an interest in singing, and it wasn’t long before I found myself performing whole acoustic covers for friends and family whenever I had the opportunity. 

I take a lot of inspiration from artists like Ed Sheeran, Hozier, The Black Keys, and so many 
more phenomenal performers. I've managed to curate a very unique style and sound inspired by these musicians, and hope to further establish myself and my sound in the years to come.

Come flick some disks with the pros!

Food

While you're downtown, you're invited to visit the variety of downtown dining establishments or enjoy delicious food from a variety of food trucks that will be on site at each event.  

Please note that some trucks may offer a limited menu at large events such as Friday Night on White and that menu options may change due to ingredient availability.

Adult Beverages

No outside alcohol or coolers will be permitted during the event, but beer and wine will be available for purchase within the festival area starting at 5 p.m. Alcohol vendors manage their own alcohol sales and are responsible for identification checks as required by law.

• Tokens may be purchased in advance at White Street Brewing or at the event starting at 5 p.m. Tokens may then be redeemed at the event for a pint of beer for each token redeemed. Unused tokens may be redeemed during normal business hours at White Street Brewing.

Reduce Your Time in the Beer Line 

Due to the incredible crowds that turn out for Friday Night on White, the lines for beer are sometimes long - but they move fast. You can help us reduce the wait times even more by remembering the following:

• When approaching the front of the line, be prepared to move to the next available server. 

• While standing in line, read the beer descriptions and know which one you want to order or ask about. 
  

Restrooms

Restrooms are located in the following areas:

• Parking lot with food trucks located off South White Street and to the right of NC General Stores

• Jones Avenue near intersection of South White Street

• Fidelity Bank Parking lot off East Owen Avenue

• South White Street behind the stage across from The Cotton Company

There are accessible restrooms at each of the identified locations above, as well as a diaper changing table in the accessible unit located on East Owen Avenue in the Fidelity Bank parking lot.

Parking

Free parking is available along several side streets and parking lots in downtown Wake Forest, including Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary.

However, some parking lots may appear to be public, when in fact they are private, such as the Renaissance Plaza parking lot.  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 Friday Night on White attendees are clearly marked.

Uber & Lyft

Anyone planning to use Uber or Lyft to take you to or from Friday Night on White (FNOW) is encouraged to set the Wake Forest Town Hall, 301 S. Brooks St., as the destination and pickup location.

Streets in the FNOW event area close at 2:00 pm and remain closed until cleared and cleaned, which is typically around 11-11:30 pm. By designating Town Hall as the destination and/or pickup location, you'll make it easier for yourself and your driver to connect, plus the festivities along South White Street are only a short block away. 

Items Allowed & Not Allowed

Bring a lawn chair and blanket - but if you bring a lawn chair and/or blanket, please place them in the street - not on the sidewalk. Please leave the sidewalks open for pedestrians.

Please leave your coolers and outside alcoholic beverages at home.

Also, as much as we love your furry family members, we respectfully ask that you please leave your pets at home.

Parents & Caregivers – Please Help

A vast majority of the young people that attend FNOW behave responsibly, but there is a small percentage that are disruptive. That’s why we’re asking parents and caregivers to help us preserve the FNOW experience for our downtown merchants and visitors by supervising their children. With your help, we can fulfill our commitment to ensure that FNOW offers a positive atmosphere where friends and family gather for a time of safe fun.

Weather Updates   

In the event of inclement weather on the day of a concert, organizers will announce a decision on whether to proceed as early as possible. Updated concert information will be posted on the Town’s website, Nextdoor site and Facebook page. Smart phone users who have downloaded the Town app will also receive a push notification message concerning any schedule changes. Please note: Due to the popularity of FNOW, organizers will make every effort to proceed with the concert as scheduled. However, when severe weather threatens, the safety of visitors, sponsors and performers is our number one priority. As a result, decisions on whether to continue or cancel a concert are based entirely on the potential risks posed by inclement weather.

Join our monthly meeting of the minds as we discuss and taste the wide world of home brewing.

You pick all your favorite hits, and DJ Whut? will spin them live! From old-school jams to guilty pleasures, this is WAY better than touch tunes! Come sing your heart out, shake it on the dance floor, and have a blast with friends at the taproom on the longest day of the year!
