For the biggest party in Wake Forest, turn to White Street

Friday Night on White, named after the street where the brewery resides, shuts down the road one Friday every month from April to September. Then it packs in food, beer and a free concert.

The event is built on the brewery's ethos to bring people together.

"One thing that we love is the fact that Wake Forest is such a tight-knit community," said Will Haddock of White Street, which sponsors the 919 Beer podcast. "As we grew a lot bigger, and our beer went out into the world, we realized that we needed to come back and do things to focus on that community and give them a 'Thank you.'

"They've brought us to where we are now."

The party was an instant hit when it debuted last year.

Jason Faulkner, a sales rep for the company, said the first iteration last year was so big that the brewery bought a second 10-tap beer truck to handle the crowds. Then, after the first event this year, they went out and bought a third.

Haddock said the success is based on a simple recipe.

"We put a stage out there, we put live music, we put food trucks, and we have beer, and it is that easy," Haddock said.
