Interesting things to do - Cambridge Events May 30th - June 5th, 2025
I love living near so many fun things and people. Any list of Cambridge events will have great restaurants, shops, breweries, but also professors, authors, research, and startups. I searched for a few years to find the place I belonged. I was so happy to move back and so happy to live here now.
I can’t possibly do all the things…but I like to do some of them and share them with you.
