The First Annual Arts in April
Our coastal town may be known for its stunning views and historic charm, but the hidden gem of our community is its diverse arts scene.
Join us for New Bern’s first annual Arts in April, a festival dedicating the entire month of April to celebrating the arts. As a testament to our thriving arts community, we have a full and exciting calendar of events planned to showcase what New Bern has to offer.
