Lilypad
About
The Lilypad is a music venue and event space in Cambridge’s Inman Square that describes itself as award-winning. Its calendar mixes jazz groups, singer-songwriters, funk and rock bands, album release shows and late-night sets, and many shows are open to all ages. Shows run in seated, standing or mixed formats depending on the act, and a typical week moves from early-evening sets to late-night shows.
Beyond concerts, the Lilypad has hosted poetry book release parties, a Jimmy Tingle comedy show, a Boston8Bit showcase and global funk dance parties, and it has taken its programming outdoors with a free variety show in Vellucci Plaza. A number of events through the year are free or donation-based, and many shows offer reduced admission for students and seniors. The space is also available to rent for private parties and events.
