Wake Forest Unplugged 2026

Sponsored by the Parks, Recreation & Cultural Resources Advisory Board, "Wake Forest Unplugged...Get Connected" is a rare opportunity for residents to "disconnect" from cell phones, video games and computers, and "re-connect" with their community, friends, and family.

The PRCR Advisory Board will host a variety of organized games and activities, including sack and relay races, corn hole, and miniature golf, from 5-7 p.m. in the vicinity of the Walker Garden. Food and dessert trucks scheduled for this year's Wake Forest Unplugged will be announced later this year.

Even if you can't make it out to Joyner Park, you and your family can still participate by simply "unplugging" from your televisions, computers, phones, and video games for the afternoon and instead engage in healthier, more active pursuits. 

Wake Forest Unplugged...Get Connected will culminate with a free concert from 5:30-7:30 p.m. in beautiful E. Carroll Joyner Park. You're also invited to bring a kite to fly and/or take a stroll along any of the park's numerous trails.
