While much of the change has happened organically, there is also a growing effort to showcase the riverside city as an inclusive destination for residents and visitors alike.

Cheers on the Choptank is more than just a Pride Month event. It is a chance to celebrate the people, personality, and pure Cambridge vibe that make this town feel like home.

What began as a casual reflection slowly took shape as an idea: an organization that would celebrate Cambridge, create reasons for neighbors to gather, and signal that the city was open and welcoming to people from all walks of life.

Proudly Cambridge members have been celebrating the good life inspired by more than LGBTQ pride they found in their new home, and now they’re spreading the word.

A new organization, Proudly Cambridge, is holding its debut Pride event this weekend, touting the town’s welcoming, inclusive culture.
