Cumberland Road Closure In Effect For Woodstove Festival

Friday, November 6, 2026 at 8:52 AM

By Ken Landers

Drivers heading into downtown Cumberland this weekend should prepare for a temporary road closure connected with the 10th annual Woodstove Festival.

Second Street will close to vehicle traffic at 10 a.m. Friday between Dunsmuir Avenue and the alleyway located between Dunsmuir and Penrith avenues.

The affected section will remain closed throughout the weekend and is expected to reopen after 11 p.m. Sunday.

The closure will provide space for festival activities and accommodate the increased number of pedestrians expected downtown.

Motorists should choose an alternate route, allow additional travel time and watch carefully for people walking near the festival area.

Drivers are also asked to obey all posted signs and avoid entering the closed section.

The Village of Cumberland is thanking residents, visitors and nearby businesses for their patience and cooperation.

Anyone with questions about the closure can contact the Cumberland Village Office.

For more information, visit Village of Cumberland.
