One of New Bern’s most anticipated events returns! The 39th Annual Antique Show & Sale is NBPF’s signature fundraiser, celebrating history, design, and community — all to support the preservation of our town’s unique architectural heritage.

Explore a wide selection of curated antiques from long-time dealers offering everything from Southern primitives to European collectibles. Many have been part of the show for over 25 years and bring deep knowledge and rare finds.

Don’t miss the First-Look Reception & Presale, an exclusive early shopping experience with wine, dinner, and great company.

This year’s featured preservation speaker is Robert Leath, Executive Director of the Edenton Historical Commission, sharing the inspiring restoration story of the Cupola House.

Exciting news: The 2026 show expands to 26 vendor locations — more treasures to explore than ever before!

The antique show planning committee is busy crafting even more exciting additions to this year’s show — more details coming soon!

Ticket proceeds go to NBPF Preservation projects.Saving more than 70 structures from demolition and neglect since 1972, NBPF continues to focus on distressed brick-and-mortar properties through preservation efforts and community partnerships.
