About Craven County Fair
New Bern is home to the Craven County Fair, which celebrates the oldest North Carolina city — New Bern was the colonial capital of North Carolina and birthplace of Pepsi-Cola, and Craven County's Neuse River and Trent River confluence creates a coastal city of remarkable beauty and historical significance.
What to Expect
Expect livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, carnival rides, local food vendors, and a well-organized fair drawing from New Bern's diverse community and the broader Neuse River region.
Visitor Tips
New Bern is one of North Carolina's most charming historic cities — Tryon Palace, the colonial governor's mansion, is a premier heritage attraction. The Pepsi-Cola birthplace, the North Carolina History Center, and the Union Point waterfront park are major city landmarks.
