Ghostwalk Returns to the Decadent Decade of the 20’s 

October 19, 2023 @ 6:00 pm - 9:30 pm

October 19-21 • 6-9:30pm

For three evenings in October you’ll be able to visit with ghosts of New Bernians right out of the Roaring Twenties!  We know that was a lively time, but what happened here in New Bern?  Spirits, specters, or ordinary folks will bring you tales of the twenties.

The 33rd Annual Ghostwalk is Oct. 19-21 from 6-9:30pm at 13 ghost sites in historic New Bern. It 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 in homes and on porches in downtown New Bern.  Downtown theaters provide great stories, and local historic churches offer a variety of low-cost meals for Ghostwalk visitors. 

Keep your eyes open for special apparitions like the Verigood Bakery (an oldie but a goodie), and some Thrilling activity (returning by popular, phantasmic demand).

Adult advance tickets are $19 with a special $15 price for active-duty military, students and Historical Society members. Adults day of the event, $23. Children under 12 are $5, children under 3 are free.  Your ticket is your Ghostwalk map. Tickets are good for all three nights.
