The Cavendish Beach Sommo Festival will be returning next year, but it won’t be in peak summer.
The 2024 festival will be held on Sept. 13-14, instead of the weekend following the Cavendish Beach Music Festival in mid-July.
When Sommo was announced last year, some people raised concerns having back-to-back festivals in Cavendish did little to help local businesses. They also worried it could deter families from visiting the area during that time.
The Sommo Festival was billed as “a brand-new music and culinary festival featuring two days of music, food and drink.”
Once both events wrapped up, local residents and business owners had the chance to weigh in at a public meeting and discuss recommendations for the next festival season.
