Neuse River Bridge Run helps bridge gaps in our community! Adults and children, lace up your running shoes for fun, exercise and a worthy cause! For over 20 years, the Neuse River Bridge Run (NRBR) has been uniting runners, walkers, volunteers and sponsors - all to support five important non-profit organizations in our community. Craven Community College Foundation, The Filling Station, Duffyfield Phoenix Project, Mediation Center of Eastern Carolina, and Twin River YMCA all benefit from your participation. Our mission is to serve the community by promoting a healthy, active lifestyle. All six organizations are committed to working together to manage this event resulting in great benefits to our communities. The five organizations equally share 100% of the net revenue generated by the events. The NRBR follows routes over bridges, through historic neighborhoods, and through downtown New Bern. We offer four events, a 1/2 Marathon, at 10K, a 5K, and the SuperKids Fun Run. In addition to the 4 in-person races the NRBR will continue to offer all four options as virtual events for 2025. Please note that only the in-person ½ Marathon and 10K events can offer the full bridges experience. Virtual runners will need to plot their own […]

Helt Oncale is returning to the Old Theater stage following a memorable performance last year. Helt is a charismatic singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist known for playing many different styles from earthy rhythm ‘n’ blues to Louisiana Cajun, from swing rock ‘n’ roll to original American country and bluegrass. In a soft, sensitive voice he tells his stories from his homeland, describes the pulsating life of New Orleans, sings of the ancients out in the swamps and bayous, and relays the hopes, longings, joys and sorrows, always of the “boundless Spirit of Louisiana.” He accompanies himself on various instruments in playful alternation of guitar, fiddle, mandolin, and banjo. Whether he's playing one of his own cheerful fiddle tunes, a stomping blues, or an old Cajun tune, whenever you close your eyes, you feel the heartbeat of Louisiana and an inimitable feeling of “Laisser les bon temps rouler” – Let the good times roll! Helt began his career at the age of 19 performing in the clubs and bars of Bourbon Street and learning from the best in the French Quarter. After touring throughout the United States, he settled in Germany where he has won awards of acclaim and now makes his home. […]
