From an afternoon on the trail to an evening in town, downtown Cambridge offers the perfect blend of outdoor recreation, shopping, dining and cultural attractions—making it a destination full of energy, character and charm.
In 2026, the Great Guernsey Trail will extend right into downtown Cambridge, connecting cyclists, walkers and runners directly to the city. A new trailhead will provide convenient parking and easy access to Wheeling Avenue, seamlessly linking the region’s popular pathway with downtown dining, shopping and entertainment. Downtown Cambridge becomes the perfect place to start—or finish—a trail adventure.
Just steps away, visitors can explore eclectic shops, including Bookology—a community favorite that’s more than just a bookstore. It offers author signings, cozy reading nooks and shelves filled with new and gently used titles.
Opening soon are the Brickhouse Market & Deli and Brickhouse Social. The Market & Deli offers a curated selection of gourmet foods, local produce and artisanal treats, perfect for grabbing a quick bite or a unique gift. Just next door, Brickhouse Social combines a vibrant atmosphere with delicious food and hand-crafted coffee, making it the perfect spot for gatherings and socializing.
Anticipation is building for the upcoming Midtown Market, set to open in the former Ford building. This vibrant new destination will transform Wheeling Avenue into a family-friendly hub, offering a delightful food market, an indoor playground, and an arcade featuring duckpin bowling and laser tag. Midtown Market promises to be a central spot for fun for all ages.
Entertainment thrives downtown as well. Experience the excitement of a Broadway-style production or concert at the Cambridge Performing Arts Center (CPAC), or enjoy a show at the Scottish Rite Auditorium, beautifully restored to its 1937 glory and seating 800, hosting everything from dance recitals to touring performers.
