Performing Arts
Live Music, Theatre, & More
If you are looking to enjoy the performing arts while in the Comox Valley, there are numerous events throughout the year from local and sought-after performers! You will be able to discover artist exhibitions, theatrical performances, dance, choral and musical offerings of all varieties. Performance events can be found throughout the Comox Valley and are listed on our monthly event listings.
Not to be left out are the multitude of authors and writers that call the Comox Valley home, including the 2019-2021 Comox Valley Poet Laureate, Lawrence J. W. Cooper. The duties of the Poet Laureate’s two-year term include creating written works which celebrate or commemorate significant community events, engaging the community in literature and literacy, and making poetry and spoken word arts accessible to all. The CVPL is available for public appearances and offers regular poetry-driven events throughout the year.
In Cumberland, the Waverly Pub and Cumberland Park are hotspots for live music and festivals respectively. Be sure to keep close tabs on The Waverly's event schedule to check out what's on during your visit to the valley.
