History, Culture, Art oh MY!

WRAL recently visited Rolesville during the installation of one of three murals for the Town. The murals are being painted by artist Gabriel Eng-Goetz, who was selected to create the artwork that will be displayed throughout Rolesville. All three murals are expected to be revealed during the Fall FunFest this Saturday. Listen to the full story here.

The Town of Rolesville’s annual Fall FunFest will be Saturday, October 28^th from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM. We have over 100 vendors signed up for this year’s festival. With the continued growth and popularity of this event, we wanted to make sure you have all the information you need regarding access before the festivities take place.

Above this letter is a map identifying the areas that will be closed for the event. There is a section of Redford Place Drive that will be completely closed to vehicles but remain open to pedestrian traffic. There is a detour outlined on the map. We assure you that emergency response access will not be delayed or obstructed in any way throughout the day.

The intersections of South Main Street and Redford Place Drive to the intersection of Littleport Road/Ashbrittle Road and Redford Place Drive will be closed as well as School Access Street starting at 6:30 AM on Saturday, October 28th. The event itself is from 11:00 AM until 5:00 PM. After all, vendors have exited, Redford Place Drive will open to all vehicle traffic, we estimate this will be around 6:30 PM.

We hope to see you and your family at Fall FunFest!

Tips to Stay Safe this Halloween

Always walk on sidewalks or paths, if there are no sidewalks, walk facing traffic as far to the left as possible.

Put electronic devices down and keep heads up and walk, don’t run, across the street. It’s best to cross the street safely at corners.

Ensure a responsible adult accompanies young children on the neighborhood rounds and travels in familiar and well-lit areas.

Before Halloween arrives, be sure to choose a costume that won't cause safety hazards. Opt for nontoxic Halloween makeup over masks, which can obscure vision; always test makeup in a small area first to see if any irritation develops.
