What a treat it will be to watch the colossal 228 foot SeaFair maneuver through the Cunningham Bridge and dock at the New Bern Grand Marina. Captain Craig Matthews expects the yacht (ship) to arrive in New Bern around 2:30 pm. Although SeaFair is one of the largest commercial vessels that travels in the Intercoastal Waterway, it can dock at the New Bern Grand Marina as it was designed to have a draft of only 6.5 feet, the depth at the Marina.

It will be a spectacular sight and the newest major venue for MUMFEST.
The opening gala, Arts Ahoy will be held Thursday evening, an elegant casual affair celebrating the unveiling of the SeaFair Collection, 28 galleries filled with art by nationally known artists and photographers. Butlered canapés, fine champagne and wine, guests can mingle with Governor Perdue and Larry Wheeler, Director of the North Carolina Art Museum and enjoy an evening unlike any other that has ever been held in New Bern.
Tickets can be purchased through http://www.cravenarts.org/ or at the Bank of the Arts. This fundraising event benefits the Craven Arts Council and Swiss Bear, organizations committed to the betterment of downtown and the community.
