Connie Johnson joined Wake Up Tri-Counties to discuss upcoming events in Cambridge for April and May 2026. Cambridge residents can look forward to a busy spring with a variety of community activities. The public library is offering a seed library—a perfect opportunity for anyone hoping to grow vegetables or flowers, and it’s free to participate. For families, there’s a Kids’ Movie and Paint Day on April 25th, featuring Toy Story, with registration required. The Cambridge FFA plant sale and a pork chop cookout mark ten years of their student-run greenhouse, running April 25th and 26th. Other events include the United Methodist Church’s spring salad luncheon on April 30th, community garage sales May 8th–9th, citywide cleanup May 15th, classic car cruise-ins, and Spectrum Fest’s all-day music on May 24th.
The United Methodist Church in Cambridge is inviting the community to its annual Spring Salad Luncheon, scheduled for April thirtieth at 120 West Exchange Street. The event runs from eleven in the morning until one in the afternoon. Guests can enjoy a variety of fresh salads for just ten dollars. For added convenience, express lane and carry-out options will be offered. Organizers hope the luncheon brings neighbors together to celebrate the season and support local outreach efforts. Proceeds from the event will help fund church programs and community initiatives throughout the year.
Residents are gearing up for the annual Village of Cambridge Yard Sale, promising a day of treasure-hunting and community connection. If you’d like your sale featured, simply contact the Cambridge Village Office at 309-937-2570 to have your name and address included in the official list. Whether you’re clearing out the garage or searching for unique finds, this event offers an opportunity for all. Don’t miss your chance to be part of a local tradition that brings neighbors together. Mark your calendars and call today to ensure your yard sale is on the map for eager bargain hunters throughout the village.
Residents of Cambridge planning to participate in the upcoming clean-up day organized by Peterson Disposal Service should take note of the newly released guidelines. The event is limited to occupied homes located within city boundaries. Each eligible residence may set out either two bulky items or a single rubbish pile not exceeding six feet by six feet. Items such as hazardous waste, electronics, and construction debris will not be accepted. Participants are encouraged to sort their items carefully before collection day to ensure they comply with these rules. More information can be found on the city’s official website or Facebook page.
