2024 WakeLP Convention

Join us for our 2024 annual convention! Enjoy delicious snack food gratis, meet the Libertarian candidates who will be on the ballot in Wake County, and see the two folks competing for your vote in our March gubernatorial primary make their best pitch! We will take care of some party business including selecting delegates to the 2024 LPNC Convention in Forsyth County in February, and enjoy hanging out together.

Our 2024 Convention will be held at our regular meetup spot at Tobacco Road (downtown Raleigh) on January 24th, 2024 from 7-9 p.m. and all are welcome to attend. We look forward to seeing you!
