For us, it’s simple: Fall is for making memories.

And what better way to soak up the magic of the season than a fall-filled weekend escape?

With its beautiful coastal setting, delightful downtown, and hundreds (yes, hundreds) of autumn-inspired events, New Bern, NC, offers a full season of fall fun right down the road.

Two weekends we’re eyeing:

  • Mumfest 2024 | Oct. 12-13 | The premiere annual fall fest full of “mumfestivities”
  • Trail to Tryon Race | Nov. 9 | Three races + a town-wide celebration
