When: Saturday, Aug. 19 and Sunday, Aug. 20The village of Cumberland is home to approximately 3,700 residents, a healthy portion of whom will attend the Cumberland Wild festival this weekend.
Respect is paid to their surroundings and the greater Comox Valley, Schulman said. The festival, which gets underway Saturday, is meant to unite the close-knit unit of artists and attendees in the area, amid a natural outdoor setting. Downtown Mischief, Applecat, Mark Farina, Manic Focus, and Petunia & the Vipers are among the 30 acts scheduled to appear through the weekend.
Cumberland Wild offers a balance of musical offerings, with three unique stretches of programming during a two-day period. “We’ve ebbed and flowed, with the different events we’ve done over the years,” Schulman said. “We’re adaptable in that way.”
