Music scene · Cambridge

Cambridge grew as a trade and lakes area north of the Twin Cities, with school bands, church choirs, and summer park concerts providing most live music. Minneapolis musicians sometimes drive north for cabin-country events.

The community center and park pavilions host summer concerts and seasonal festivals. Church fellowship halls and the high school auditorium support recitals, musicals, and community programs.

Local and regional artists perform here, with musicians from the nearby Minneapolis scene occasionally passing through.

New musicians can join school ensembles, check the community center bulletin board, and perform at summer park events. For regular gigs, the Minneapolis metro is the practical destination.
