Cedar Grove Cemetery & Downtown Locations
A Spooky Good Time!
Now in its 36th 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 scripts.
Guides will lead you through the stops at 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 sharing their spirited tales on outdoor porches and in select buildings in downtown New Bern. Local churches offer tours and a budget-friendly meals for Ghostwalk visitors.
Ghostwalk is not a haunted house, spooky, supernatural, or a homes tour! Click here for a handy fact sheet explaining the event in more detail.
