The Commons
A Place where Land and People Meet.
The Commons features 26 acres of peaceful rural landscapes and rich ecosystems, and enshrines the vision and spirit of a community commons.
The Theatre Stage is at the Commons this year!
Green Festival
We’re passionate about making the greenest festival we can.
From Commons Solar Arrays to Gertie biofuel to our collective human power, it’s all supplying energy for Cultivate!
Can you believe last years festival only produced two bags of garbage?
Remember to bring your own plates, cups, cutlery and napkins.
Reconciliation
The Gabriola Arts Coucil respectfully acknowledges that Cultivate takes place on the unceded territory of the Snuneymuxw Fist Nation, who have been stewards of the land for millenia.
