Annual New Bern Ghost Walk

Now in its 34th year, Ghostwalk is a family-friendly fall event that combines spirits from New Bern's past, talented local volunteer actors, historic sites, and a fun-filled, creative environment. Each year features a new theme and new "ghost characters."

Guides leads you through the stops at Cedar Grove cemetery, where you'll hear lively stories based on real historical characters and events. The remainder of the event is self-guided, with historical spirits sharing their spirited tales on outdoor porches and in select buildings in downtown New Bern. The Civic Theatre provides a special Ghostwalk show, and local churches offer tours and budget-friendly meals for Ghostwalk visitors.

Ghostwalk is not a haunted house, spooky, supernatural or homes tour. Tickets are good for one night or all three.

Plan to stay in New Bern during the daytime hours (when the ghosts are resting!) so you can fully explore our beautiful area.
