Parents & Caregivers – Please Help

Most young people that attend FNOW behave responsibly, but a small percentage is 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.

The remaining 2024 concerts will feature Sleeping Booty on August 9 and Crush on September 13.

Social Media

Anyone sharing their pictures on social media is encouraged to use #FNOW and #FridayNightonWhite.

Uber & Lyft

Anyone planning to use Uber or Lyft is encouraged to set the Wake Forest Town Hall, 301 S. Brooks St., as the destination and pickup location. 

Parking

Free parking will be available at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary (SEBTS) and along several side streets and parking lots throughout downtown Wake Forests and beyond. Please note: 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 FNOW attendees are clearly marked.

Inclement Weather

In the event of inclement weather on the day of a concert, updated concert information will be posted on the Town 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.
