Wendell's Meet on Main is a free community street festival featuring live music, local food trucks, and children's activities in the heart of downtown Wendell. What to Know: The event begins at 5:00 PM when the food trucks and the Kid Zone open, making it easy to feed early-eating toddlers before the live music starts at 6:30 PM. Admission is free, but you will want to bring pocket money for dinner and drinks from local vendors. Pack folding lawn chairs or a large blanket, as seating along Main Street is limited. This is an ideal Friday night outing because it offers a relaxed, open-air environment where children can move around freely while parents enjoy dinner and music.
