The Festival
THE BIG TIME OUT
The Big Time Out lands Sarah Harmer, Corb Lund, Michael Franti and Sly & Robbie and Xavier Rudd this summer!
On August 17, 18 & 19, Cumberland hosts The Big Time Out. Based on the 1 day Cumberland Village Works Festival that delighted 2000 fans on Labour Day in 2005, this 3 day show promises to be the entertainment highlight of the year. The Big Time Out is 3 days on 1 stage and will take place in the Cumberland Village Park, featuring international talent commonly performing in large urban venues like the Commodore Ballroom & Malkin Bowl in Stanley Park.
Over the course of the weekend Rupert Howe could be seen recording snippets of the festival with his mobile phone. Here are a few of those clips. You can see the complete set at thebigtimeout.tv.
It was a little wet to start...
...but the sunshine eventually came out with Toby.
