Riverfront Convention Center, 203 S Front St, New Bern, NC 28560, USA TICKET SALES @ Vendor Fair 4pm-11pm, open to the public from 4-6 pm. Open to Pride Prom ticket holders from 6:30-11pm. Pride Prom is from 7-11pm. 1 ENC Pride was founded after the first-ever New Bern Pride Prom when the Pride Prom planning committee members saw the impact the first event had on the surrounding community. ​ The idea for Pride Prom sparked when David Bucksot had a prom-themed birthday party and saw his friends experience prom for the first time, or in some cases, all over again – but this time as themselves. He wanted to share this experience with the rest of the New Bern community, so he gathered his friends to help create his vision on a large scale. ​ After the success of the first New Bern Pride Prom, there was no slowing down. 1 ENC Pride is using the 2023 prom as a launching pad for more projects and events in the future. ​ Thank you to all of our amazing sponsors for making this event possible.
