Festivities abound this time of year in Eastern North Carolina. While Oriental will be celebrating the Spirit of Christmas the second weekend in December, New Bern will be "Beary" Merry and celebrate with the annual tradition of Live Window Displays!
Experience Christmas magic as you stroll through Downtown New Bern and view all the window displays businesses put on to celebrate the season! There are promises of fun with lots of shopping, dining, Santa, snow and a whole lot of Beary Merry magic!

The 44th Annual MumFest will be held Friday and Saturday, October 12th and 13th, 2024. Come on down to New Bern to enjoy a fall weekend full of amusement rides, games, food, exhibitions, vendors, and so much...
