WAKE FOREST, NC – You’re invited to join Mayor Ben Clapsaddle for the 2026 State of the Town Address & Dinner on Monday, Feb. 16, at 6 p.m. Presented by the Wake Forest Rotary Club, the event will take place at the Wake Forest Renaissance Centre, 405 S. Brooks St.
During his remarks, Mayor Clapsaddle will reflect on the successes and challenges of the Wake Forest community over the past year. He will also outline several goals the Town will strive towards in 2026.
Advance tickets are $15 per person and include a catered meal. Tickets can be purchased online with a Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover credit card at https://bit.ly/WFStateofTown. Tickets may also be purchased at the Renaissance Centre Box Office with cash, check, or credit card. A limited number of tickets are available, so the event is expected to sell out. Dress for the occasion is business casual.
