Family Movie Nights at Joyner Park

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Town of Wake Forest has made the difficult decision to cancel this year’s Family Movie Nights at Joyner Park.

The decision to suspend this summer staple was based on the unpredictability of the coronavirus, a desire to safeguard the health and safety of the community, and an expectation that residents will not be allowed to gather safely in large groups for the foreseeable future.

Family Movie Nights at Joyner Park is expected to resume in 2021.

COVID-19 causes cancellation of several summer events

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Town of Wake Forest has made the difficult decision to cancel this year’s Friday Night on White concert series, Family Movie Nights at Joyner Park and Memorial Flag-Raising Ceremonies.

The decision to suspend these summer staples was based on the unpredictability of the coronavirus, a desire to safeguard the health and safety of the community, and an expectation that residents will not be allowed to gather safely in large groups for the foreseeable future.

These events are expected to resume in 2021.

At this time, decisions have not been finalized about other summer programs, events and operations, including the Independence Day festivities and openings of Holding Park Aquatic Center and Taylor Street Park Sprayground. Additional information will be provided as it becomes available.
