MumFest truly takes a community. ❤️

We are incredibly grateful for the businesses and organizations that support MumFest and help make this weekend possible.

Come hungry… there’s a LOT to taste at MumFest.

With 40+ food vendors throughout the festival PLUS all of the incredible restaurants in Downtown New Bern, you could spend the entire weekend eating your way through MumFest — and we fully support that plan.

Grab a festival favorite, try something new from a food truck, split a sweet treat with your MumFest crew, or step inside one of our downtown restaurants for a meal, a drink, and a little break before heading back out to explore.

The important question: what food is an absolute MUST for you at MumFest?
