Winter Mix

The Community Development Department, with support from Cambridge Recreation, is excited to present Winter Mix! Winter Mix is a new series of free community events designed to foster warmth, joy, and connection during the coldest part of the year.

By activating public spaces with light, movement, arts, and cultural programming, Winter Mix aims to reduce winter isolation and cultivate community resilience through shared experiences.

Winter Mix events will take place throughout the month of February, both indoors and outside. At each event, community members can expect a cozy, family-friendly atmosphere, festive lighting, music, warm refreshments, games, and performances.
