New Bern did an excellent job of repairing this convention center after the hurricane. We enjoyed being back and look forward to next year.

The views in the back were nice and the food was great, especially the unique salad with feta, pecans, and some fruits. Parking was a bit sparse.

Okay, I spent too much money on the original art of the vendors at the Home Goods Show! Pottery, Woodwork from Nicaragua, and more. What an unexpected treat! Thank you, New Bern!

- The Convention Center has been closed due to damage from Hurricane Florence and other needed repairs. It is not expected to open until sometime in the Fall 2019.

I have been here for numerous events over the years and I always am happy to attend. Parking is plentiful -- which is HUGE in our historical, small city and the facilities are clean and bright with plenty of amenities such as restrooms. The location is beautiful with a great view of both our rivers!

I have attended many different meetings at this facility. It is always clean and orderly. The facility is a gem for New Bern as it draws in and accommodates many organisations.

I was in town for a two day meeting that was being held at the New Bern Convention Center. This facility is very clean. The food was good too. I would highly suggest using this venue if you live in the area. A hotel next door helped too.

We were recently at the Convention Center to attend a fundraiser for an area school. Every time we enjoy a function here, I’m proud that we have such a beautiful venue in our city. We especially like the NC Symphony concerts that we’ve been able to attend. Parking never seems to be a problem for us and it’s proximity to downtown and area restaurants makes it easy to enjoy a really nice evening out.

We came to hear the NC Symphony, and had never been there before. The staff and volunteers were extremely friendly is helping us get seated etc. A nice-sized venue, not small, but not big. Closest we've ever been to the Symphony.
