It’s fall. That means cooler weather, football games, and most importantly, MumFest! This year’s “mum-orable” time begins with MumFeast.
Feast for Your Eyes
Mum’s the word on one of our favorite events of the year…NOT! We love spreading the word about the delicious MumFeast. The time to wear stretchy pants is back, with the feast fest set for Friday, September 27. The “feasting in the streets” takes place in Downtown New Bern from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. along Middle Street. This year’s MumFeast includes street cafes, food trucks, a beer garden, games and live music with Sam Lewis. It’s a feast for the eyes and stomach! For more details, click here.
This Fest is Best
The Amazing MumFest Arch, located in Union Point Park.
For the weekend of October 12 and 13, excitement blooms all around town! While MumFest’s main attraction may be our love for colorful mums, the weekend is full of activities for the entire family. Union Point Park is the main “planting stage” for events, including live entertainment, demonstrations and BMX stunt performances. Of course, you are missing out if you don’t take a selfie in front of the mum arch! Down along Pollock and Craven Streets, you can enjoy a brew in the Yuengling Beer Garden while listening to live music. Or, perhaps chalk art, motorcycle demonstrations or dance performances are more your style. No matter how you wish to spend your day (or days) at MumFest, there will be plenty of opportunities for entertainment. Of course, your hunger pangs will be relieved, as food and beverages are available throughout the event. If you want to get in some exercise to work off those calories, there is a 5k and fun run on Sunday, October 12, at 7:30 a.m. For a complete schedule of activities, click here.
New Bern is always hopping with lots of amazing things to do, sights to see and food to indulge. MumFeast and MumFest present a bouquet of it all!
