Friday Night on White food truck vendor applications now accepted

The Town of Wake Forest is now accepting applications from food truck vendors interested in participating in Friday Night on White (FNOW). The online application is available at http://bit.ly/FNOW_FoodTruckApplication. The Town will accept applications through Friday, Feb. 3.

FNOW takes place along South White Street on the second Friday night of each month from April through September. The 2023 series gets underway on April 14 and continues May 12, June 9, July 14, August 11, and September 8. 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 $1,000,000 in insurance is required.

Last year, each FNOW concert drew between 5,000 to 12,000 visitors to downtown Wake Forest.
