March 21st is the Spring Equinox, and this year Cambridge businesses have a full day of events worth getting out for. Here’s a suggested itinerary to fit them all in:

𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 — Cambridge Winery (700 Kenseth Way)
Kick things off at the Spring Sip & Shop, running 9am–3pm. Sixty vendors, free admission, and a decade of fun behind it. A great way to start the day.

𝗠𝗶𝗱-𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 - Rowe Pottery Works (110 E. Main St.)
Head over for the Spring Open House at Rowe Pottery. New pottery patterns, refreshed displays, and a shop full of things that make a house feel like a home. Give yourself time to linger.
𝗟𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗵 — Cambridge Market & Mustard Seed Books (217 W. Main St.)
Stop in for brunch or lunch at Cambridge Market, then head upstairs to Mustard Seed Books for First Light Wine & Book Pairing. Enjoy a curated wine flight and book pairings. Take the opportunity to slow down for a bit.

𝗔𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗼𝗼𝗻 — Ruby Rose Gallery (214 W. Main St.)
The Spring Equinox Celebration at Ruby Rose features fresh inventory just in from Tucson and special vendors on hand to make it a celebration the whole family can enjoy. Free to attend. Follow on IG to see who’s joining them.

𝗟𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗔𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗼𝗼𝗻 — Stephanie Locchetta Art (1 Mill St.)
End the day with Root, Rise & Renew — a 2-hour Spring Equinox Self-Love Art & Sound Bath Workshop. Guided soul scripting, alcohol ink art, and a sound bath to close out the season’s first day. Advance tickets required at square.link/u/3GlcU5Oq.

Cambridge is in print!

MWL Magazine's Spring 2026 issue features our community in a full spread titled "Fired Up," highlighting Cambridge as an eclectic, artsy destination shaped by world-class potters and independent businesses worth seeking out.

Writer Jacqueline Kehoe mapped out a perfect day in Cambridge, including:
The Marigold Room
Rowe Pottery Works
Cambridge Wood-Fired Pottery
Cambridge Market
Mustard Seed Books
Art Hub
Revive Salt Room & Spa
Dancing Goat Distillery - Cambridge, Wisconsin
Cash & Olive's Pub

This is the Cambridge we talk about every day! It's wonderful to see it recognized on a larger stage.

If you have family or friends who have never made the trip to Cambridge, now is the perfect time to invite them. Pick up a copy of MWL Magazine's Spring 2026 issue and hand it to someone who needs a reason to visit. Make a day of it together.

Even better, plan around one of our upcoming events. The Clay Collective driving tour on May 2-3 is a great way to introduce visitors to Cambridge's pottery heritage. Or bring them out June 13-14 for Midwest Fire Fest — blacksmithing demos, iron pouring, a pottery pit firing, and a 7-foot-tall sculpture glowing from the kiln. There is truly nothing else like it.

We are proud of this community every day and appreciate the individuals making it a special place to live and visit!
