The Fall Wake Forest HerbFest is a two-day community festival dedicated to gardening, autumn plants, and local crafts at the Graham Johnson Cultural Arts Endowment. What to Know: Admission is free for everyone. The festival runs Saturday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., making the morning hours ideal for families with toddlers who want to beat the afternoon crowds. Street parking is available throughout downtown Wake Forest, but you will want to bring a sturdy wagon if you plan on purchasing plants or heavy garden pots. Portable restrooms and food vendors are on-site, so pack some wet wipes and sunscreen for the open outdoor spaces. This event is a solid weekend pick because it combines practical gardening education with a relaxed street-fair atmosphere. Parents can pick up tips from local growers while kids enjoy the live music and outdoor space.
No, entry to the festival grounds, live music stages, and gardening demonstrations is completely free.
