Built around Wake Forest.
An independent community publication for the people who call Wake Forest home.
Independent publication
In Wake Forest is an independently operated community publication, not a government website. We are not affiliated with, operated by or endorsed by the Town of Wake Forest or any local, state or federal government agency. Coverage of public agencies, links to official sources, and references to Wake Forest do not imply government affiliation or endorsement.
Our reporting and community submissions are not official government notices or services. For official Town of Wake Forest information, announcements and services, visit wakeforestnc.gov. Sending a message to In Wake Forest does not submit a request to the Town.
The town beyond the headline
In Wake Forest brings together useful local reporting, neighborhood stories, events, food, culture and the changes shaping our town. We want to make it easier to explore where you live and understand what is happening around you.
Your voice belongs here
Know about a new opening, an interesting neighbor, a community project or a change on your street? Send a story, photo, video or tip. An editor reviews submissions before publication and may contact you to verify the details. Sending a tip does not guarantee publication.
How we publish
Our launch stories are original summaries and guides based on linked official sources. They are credited to the In Wake Forest editorial profile, rather than presented as firsthand reporting. Dates, source links and photo credits help you assess what you are reading. Archived photos are identified as such. We distinguish paid placements from editorial content.
Independent and community supported
Local sponsorships can support the publication. Advertising does not buy independent editorial coverage.
