Downtown’s weekend’s are continually jam-packed with things to do and this weekend is no exception…in fact, it is an exceptional weekend filled with the glitter and excitement of Hollywood.
In addition to ARTWALK and other activities, New Bern’s own famous author, Nicholas Sparks, is sponsoring the Nicholas Sparks Celebrity Family Weekend…Friday through Sunday. Sparks’ newest novel, now in film “The Lucky One”, will be a highlight of the weekend with co-star Taylor Schilling and cast member Jay Ferguson attending the grand preview screening at the Civic Theatre, 9 pm on Friday. Although it is by invitation only, the public can stargaze beginning at 8 pm as the celebrities arrive for the preview screening. The long list of celebrities are from television, broadcast news, sports, Weather Channel and NFL players.
Sponsored by Pepsi, proceeds from the weekend’s activities will benefit Hope for the Warriors, Paws with a Cause and global education initiatives for Epiphany School youth through the Nicholas Sparks Foundation.

Swiss Bear extends special thanks to Nicholas Sparks for choosing New Bern for the premier of The Lucky Ones and putting our city and downtown on the map and for his philanthropy for causes new and dear to hearts.
