About the Cambridge and Somerville Calendar

Evenings here drift between the academic energy of Cambridge and the neighborhood roots of Somerville, where the two cities share a border and a weekly paper. You might find yourself at a fall art market in Cambridge or catching a live music set near Union Square in Somerville, both just a short walk from the Charles River.
