Rediscover Cumberland Community Celebration

Come celebrate the reopening of Cumberland’s historic downtown on November 16! Festivities kick-off at noon with a parade, followed by live music on two stages, kids’ activities (bounce houses, ride, face painting, balloon animals), fire pits for roasting marshmallows, and a Scavenger Hunt with a grand prize. Enjoy shopping and dining throughout downtown. And ride a few miles on the Great Allegheny Passage.

Cumberland is excited to reveal its all-new look to its historic city center, a transformation that’s been years in the making. The county seat of Allegany County, Cumberland, has had a front-row seat to countless important moments in American history. Since the nation’s infancy, Cumberland has served as one of the United States’ most significant transportation hubs … for covered wagons, canal boats, trains, automobiles and bicycles. It even served as a resting place for freedom-seekers traveling endless miles on foot as they made their way along the Underground Railroad. Both a commitment to historic preservation and a desire to honor all the ways that people have traveled to and through the city will result in a beautiful and functional space that gives residents and business owners a renewed sense of pride in their community and visitors an array of reasons to come – or come back – to Cumberland.
