Bustling but never crowded, the walkable downtown makes it easy to shop + explore.

When planning for NC seasonal celebrations, MumFest in New Bern is as fall and festive as they come.

Filling the streets of the historic downtown October 11-12, this free, award-winning event brings together:

  • Live music + entertainment
  • Local artists and exhibitors
  • Savory foods and sprawling beer gardens
  • And so much more

— for two full days of family-friendly autumn activities.

Make it a weekend escape with a waterfront stay, or start planning your perfect itinerary from the action-packed schedule.

Say “yes” to the fest
