Where is the Oktoberfest?
The streets of Downtown Wake Forest on South White Street and Owen Avenue - just like Friday Night on White!
Free parking is available along several side streets and parking lots in downtown Wake Forest, including SBTS.
However, some parking lots may appear to be public, when in fact they are private. 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 White Street Oktoberfest attendees are clearly marked.
Can I bring lawn chairs and coolers?
No need to bring chairs, there’s plenty of tables and chairs on the Bier Hall area of White Street.
Please leave your coolers and outside alcoholic beverages at home.
Is wine available?
I mean, it is a Bavarian Oktoberfest put on by a brewery… However, if authentic German bier isn’t for you, you can purchase wine inside the White Street Brewing Co. taproom.
Can I bring the kiddos? Or the doggos?
Yes, this is an outdoor festival for everyone! Just remember that the streets will be full of laughter and cheer so please keep an eye on your loved ones.
Can I Volunteer?
Yes, it takes a village to put on a community event like this. If you’d like to lend a hand during the event, we’d love to have you! Simply fill in your contact info and we’ll try to find a place for you. Prost!
What if it rains?
Why would you even consider that?! The White Street Oktoberfest is rain or shine (either way the bier tastes great). If there is any severe inclement weather, follow our social media channels for the latest news and updates.
Are you accepting vendors?
There are no vending opportunities at the White Street Oktoberfest, the streets are already full of fun and games. Check back with us for the White Street BBQ Experience.
When are the streets closed?
The section of South White Street from Elm to Jones as well as Owen Avenue will close from 6:00am-8:00pm on Saturday
