Bring the whole family and enjoy a New Bern Christmas Tradition!
The Hilton New Bern Riverfront Hotel and The City of New Bern will present the 7th Annual New Bern Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony on December 2, 2011.
The ceremony will feature entertainment from within our community, plenty of refreshments, and a special visit from Santa Claus himself!
The U.S Marine Corp Color Guard will present the Flag to commence the evening’s festivities and New Bern Mayor Lee Bettis will be on hand to flip the switch for the Grand Finale.
Our hosts, WCTI anchors, Anna Bulszewicz and Les Still, will entice the Holiday spirit and showcase a slew of local talent. This year’s participants include, Craven Community College’s Singing Ambassadors, Wanda Kay’s Dance Studio, The New Bern High School Band, The St Paul Chorus Singers, and local entertainer John Van Dyke. Santa Claus will arrive courtesy of The New Bern Fire Dept.
