Organization Purpose:

      
     The purpose of this organization is to increase the popularity of our common interests. We hope to add new members so we will be able to grow and expand. We also want to have fun while when we are together and working on projects. By developing relationships and friendships, the organization will become even stronger.

        We want to offer festivals and events throughout the Fall and Spring here in Historic Downtown Wake Forest.   By having 5-6 profitable events we hope to leverage those profitable experiences to help us offer our community a first class facility to use for non-profit functions and specifically cultural arts venue that will add to the efforts of the Graham Johnson Cultural Arts Endowment ( GJCAE). 

         We also work with our local groups, such as the Veterans Of Foreign Wars ( VFW ), to offer a wholesome venue for our teens to gather and have fun in a safe environment on a weekly basis.
 


 

   Festival Park always hopes we can do most activities outside so you can enjoy the landscaping, the array of ducks, guineas, peacocks and geese but occassionally we have to move events inside due to weather conditions.  We wanted to use Festival Park so any event would go on no matter what the weather and that is reason we have the large indoor  facility for those times when the weather doesn't co-operate.
