Local Event in Downtown Cambridge: Midwest Fire Fest 2024

We love our charming village of Cambridge—not just because we have the cutest downtown, but because of all the amazing people, businesses, and local events going on. We love that Cambridge has so much to offer! One of the super cool things we have here in Cambridge during the summer is fun events downtown, like the Midwest Fire Fest, which is coming up very soon!
