White Street Market

White Street Market is a downtown Wake Forest shop on South White Street, selling home goods and gifts. Its main draw is the Candle Pour Bar, where you make a candle of your own instead of buying one off the shelf.

A trained chandler walks you through the steps from start to finish, and you pick from dozens of vessels and luxury scents as you go. The whole thing runs about 45 minutes, which makes it easy to fold into an evening out downtown with someone.
