Celebrating 300 Years JULY 4TH AIR SHOW Join us downtown on the New Bern waterfront on July 4, 2010 at 7:00 PM. The world's most talented air show pilots will travel to New Bern from as far away as Madrid, Spain to perform for you, and to help celebrate our Independance Day and New Bern's Tricentennial. The show is short and action packed, so don't be late! Fireworks will follow the air show.

New Bern's July 4th FIREWORKS SHOW
After the Air Show in downtown New Bern the city will stage a show stopping pyrotechnic show over the Neuse River. We are grateful to the sponsors of this years fireworks display. Keep in mind that the public viewing areas get extremely crowded, so arrive early (well before 9 pm if you want a decent spot) and bring chairs or a blanket to spread out and whatever other supplies you need to enjoy the wait (water, food, iPods, etc.).
