Friday Night on White food truck vendor applications accepted through February 12

The Town of Wake Forest is accepting applications from food truck vendors interested in participating in Friday Night on White (FNOW) through Monday, Feb. 12. The online application is available at http://bit.ly/FNOW_FoodTruckApplication.

FNOW takes place along South White Street on the second Friday night of each month from April through September. The 2024 series gets underway on April 12 and continues May 10, June 14, July 12, August 9, and September 13. Each concert begins at 6 p.m. and ends at 9 p.m., but food truck vendors are required to arrive and set up between 2:15 and 3 p.m.

The event fee for food truck vendors is $150 per event. Each concert includes space for 10 food trucks and three dessert trucks. The Town will assign trucks to specific concert dates based on a lottery system and grant special preference to Wake Forest-area vendors.

Participating food trucks are required to obtain all necessary Wake County permits, including a Mobile Food Unit (MFU) permit. Each truck must also provide a copy of its Certificate of Insurance designating the Town of Wake Forest as an additional insured for the event date. A minimum of $1 million in insurance is required.

Last year, each FNOW concert drew between 5,000 to 12,000 visitors to downtown Wake Forest. For more information, visit wakeforestnc.gov and search “Friday Night on White” or contact Downtown Development Specialist Camryn Gutierrez at 919-435-9430 or [email protected].
