HerbFest originally evolved as a vehicle to draw visitors to downtown Wake Forest. Today HerbFest is used as a fundraiser for the Graham Johnson Cultural Arts Endowment (GJCAE), a 501(c) 3 non-profit organization which brings arts education and public art projects to local schools and the community. The GJCAE was created to honor the Johnson’s son, Graham, who was lost to suicide in 2006.
