Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and here for updates about our 39th Annual Antique Show & Sale, February 5-8, 2026, at Maola at Riverside, 1400 North Craven St, New Bern, NC.
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 and vintage items from long-time dealers offering everything from Southern primitives to European treasures. Many have been part of the show for over 25 years and bring deep knowledge and rare finds.
Exciting news: The 2026 show expands to 26 vendor locations — more treasures to explore than ever before! In 2026 we will have 6 new vendors, including one who specializes in antique and vintage lighting, along with another who will be offering vintage handbags and accessories.
Don’t miss the First Look Reception & Presale — Thurs., February 5th (5:30 pm – 8:00 pm) — an exclusive early shopping experience with wine, dinner, and great company.
Back by popular demand, our featured Preservation Speaker is Robert Leath, Executive Director of the Edenton Historical Commission, who will be sharing the preservation miracle of the 1758 Cupola House in Edenton.
Beth Yarbrough, founder of Southern Voice and one of the South’s best-known “armchair enthusiasts” for the cause of historic preservation will be a guest speaker at our Preservation Sessions sharing her thoughts on Preservation for the Everyday Person, with a book signing to follow.
The antique show planning committee is busy crafting even more exciting additions to this year’s show — more details coming soon!
Vendor booths are full! If you’re interested in participating as a restoration expert or appraiser, please email Antique Show Chair Lisa Ayn Setliff.
All proceeds benefit the New Bern Preservation Foundation’s work to save architecturally significant or historic buildings and homes for future generations.
