MUMfest is brought to you by Swiss Bear Downtown Development Corporation, a private 501(c)(3) nonprofit established in 1979 to stimulate and coordinate the revitalization of the downtown and redevelopment of the waterfront within the context of historic preservation.  Over the past 25 years, due to an aggressive revitalization program with creative strategies, the heart of this historic city is now a major attraction.

Swiss Bear produces MUMfest in cooperation with the City of New Bern which has made it possible to expand throughout the downtown and along the waterfront. The City recognizes and supports the festival for its economic, social, and artistic contributions to the community. Festival funding is made possible through corporate and business sponsorships and concession fees. Festival proceeds are used to help build a better downtown.
