WAKE FOREST, NC – The Town of Wake Forest is now accepting applications from food vendors interested in participating in the 2026 season of Friday Night on White (FNOW). The online application is available through Thursday, Feb. 19, at https://bit.ly/FNOWFoodTruckApplication.
FNOW takes place along South White Street on the second Friday night of each month from April through September. The 2026 series begins April 10 and continues May 8, June 12, July 10, August 14, and September 11. Accepted food vendors will receive more specific information regarding set up at a later date.
The event fee for food truck vendors is $150 per event. Historically, the number of food and dessert vendor applicants exceeds the available space at each event. Therefore, application responses will be used to evaluate vendors, while also ensuring a diverse selection of cuisines at each event.
Participating food trucks are required to obtain all necessary Wake County permits. 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 and 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 cgutierrez@wakeforestnc.gov.
