| CUMBERLAND Cumberland is known as the Island City. Cumberland is proud of the fact that there are 50 lakes within a 10 mile radius. The City of Cumberland is making a strong effort to improve and to grow and to put itself on the cutting edge of progress in the 21st century. The community's values, work ethic and character make it a quality place to live and work. Cumberland has proven to be both inviting and invigorating to the increasing number of people looking for places to live outside the metropolitan limits. With the availability of land and housing, Cumberland is ready for this challenge of steady growth. Cumberland's major Summer event is the Rutabaga Festival held the weekend before Labor Day each year. The Rutabaga Festival presents over $10,000 of outdoor musical entertainment, 130 unit parade, Rutabaga Walk & Run, art & craft shows, carnival, ethnic food stands, and a hot pepper eating contest. Shuttle buses will take you to the Cumberland Airport for sky-diving on Saturday and an air show on Sunday.
