A month-long event held in downtown New Bern. Our downtown area is transformed into a magical Winter Wonderland with a number of exciting events planned to enhance your holiday experience. Throughout the month of December celebrate the season by taking a trolley ride to see the festive lights, go ice skating in Union Point Park, experience the holiday magic with the NC Symphony Holiday Pops concert or a local theatrical holiday show! Enjoy our traditional parade and flotilla, check out our live window displays and so much more! New Bern sparkles with the magic of Christmas! Enjoy extended shopping hours downtown till 8 pm.
