Spring is in the air, but long before the change of seasons, Cambridge Main Street, Inc., began working on their premier fundraising event – their annual Spring Fling.
The 2025 Spring Fling, scheduled for Saturday, April 26, from 5:30-11 p.m., will be held at a new venue this year – The Packing House, located on Dorchester Avenue, in Cambridge, and once part of Phillips Packing Company.
“We are thrilled to be partnering with Cross Street Partners, the brilliant minds behind the revitalization of The Packing House, to host this year’s Spring Fling, in such a historic Cambridge landmark,” says Christina Wingate-Spence, Executive Director of Cambridge Main Street. “Our organization strives to celebrate the rich heritage and revitalization of Cambridge, so we welcomed the opportunity to host this annual event, in a space that plays a vital role in our community’s industrial history.”
Spring Fling has a full schedule, including hors d’oeuvres and dinner, featuring the “Tastes of Main Street,” with several Cambridge eateries preparing dishes for the specially curated menu; live and silent auctions; and live music performed by Party Fowl Band, a Delaware-based band with a following across Delmarva, Baltimore and Washington D.C. Tickets for the event are available for purchase, at $95 per person. Cambridge Main Street also has several sponsorship levels available for area businesses and individuals wanting to support the event.
“Spring Fling is Cambridge Main Street’s largest fundraiser each year,” remarks Wingate-Spence. “As a non-profit organization, we rely heavily on the generous support of our community to assist us in fulfilling our mission. The proceeds from Spring Fling, and all of our events, make it possible for us to bring more events and festivals, live music and entertainment, and opportunities for beautification to Downtown Cambridge – all of which allow us to support our small businesses, merchants, eateries and galleries.”
According to Wingate-Spence, Downtown Cambridge businesses are playing a large role in the annual event, including RaR Brewing, who is providing craft beverages for the event, and Vintage 414, whose team is volunteering their time to organize and man the bar, and is creatinga signature cocktail for Spring Fling.
“We are so appreciative of the support we receive from Downtown businesses, not just for Spring Fling, but for all of our events, throughout the year. Everything we do is for the betterment of the Cambridge Main Street District and to best support those businesses, who have chosen to make Downtown Cambridge their home,” she says.
