Ghostwalk
October 21, 2022 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm
October 20-22 • 6-9:30pm
For three evenings in October you’ll be able to visit with ghosts of New Bernians from our past. They’ll tell you about just a few of the famous things that happened first, right here. That, and a homage to Miss Gertrude Carraway and her famous list of New Bern Firsts. Spirits, specters, or ordinary folks, Miss Gertrude knew New Bern.
The 32nd Annual Ghostwalk is a family-friendly event that combines spirits from New Bern’s past, talented local volunteer actors, historic sites, and a fun-filled, creative environment. Guides will lead you through the stops in Cedar Grove Cemetery, at which you will hear lively stories based on real historical characters and events. The remainder of the event is self-guided, with historical spirits telling you their spirited tales on outdoor porches in downtown New Bern. Downtown theaters provide great skits, and local historic churches offer a variety of low-cost meals for Ghostwalk visitors.
Keep your eyes open for special apparitions like the TapSnap Photo Booth (included in your ticket), the Verigood Bakery (an oldie but a goodie), and some Thrilling activity at the Academy Green (returning by popular, phantasmic demand).
Adult advance: $20 with a special $15 price for active-duty military, students and Historical Society members. Children under 12 are $5, children under 3 are free. Tickets good for all three nights.
