Club Passim schedule — Cambridge, Massachusetts

Discover the Historic Club Passim

The Club Passim is more than a music club — it's a historic listening room that helped shape the American folk revival and continues to inspire artists and fans alike. Tucked just off bustling Harvard Square in Cambridge, the Club Passim schedule consistently showcases the best in folk, acoustic, and singer-songwriter performances in an intimate, cabaret-style setting.

Opened in 1958 as Club 47, this cozy room seats just 102 guests — every table is close to the small stage, and the sound is tailored for nuanced, acoustic performances. With general admission seating arranged at small tables and chairs, you’re steps from the music and part of an experience that feels personal and direct. Select performances also offer livestreaming, extending the room’s reach to fans beyond Cambridge.

For decades, Club Passim has been a primary stage for folk and acoustic music, hosting early performances by Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell, Tom Rush, Bonnie Raitt, Suzanne Vega, Shawn Colvin, and Tracy Chapman. Today, the venue continues to nurture emerging talent through recurring showcases and community-driven programming, including the annual Campfire Festival.

Whether you’re discovering a new artist or catching a favorite up close, the energy at Club Passim is all about connection — to the music, the moment, and each other. It’s an intimate night out in one of New England’s most storied rooms.

Venue Address

Club Passim

47 Palmer Street

Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138

Set in the heart of Harvard Square in Cambridge, Club Passim is only about 3 miles from downtown Boston — close enough for an easy trip from the city by transit or car.

• Parking: Limited street parking; several paid garages nearby (including the Harvard Square Parking Garage). Parking can be challenging during peak times.
• Public Transit: Easily accessible via the MBTA Red Line — Harvard Square Station is a short walk away. Multiple bus routes also serve the area.
• Rideshare & Dropoff: Designated pickup and dropoff zones are available on Palmer Street and around Harvard Square.

Arrival Recommendations

Because seating is general admission, plan to arrive 45–60 minutes before showtime to choose your preferred table. Early arrival is especially helpful for in-demand nights and festival showcases. With the intimate size, lines move efficiently, but arriving ahead ensures a relaxed start to your evening.

Parking in Harvard Square can be tight, especially on weekends and during peak dining hours. If you’re driving, build in extra time for a nearby garage. Public transit on the MBTA Red Line to Harvard Square is often the fastest, most convenient option; from there, it’s a quick walk to the venue entrance on Palmer Street.

Club Passim is an indoor venue with street-level access and minimal walking — weather isn’t a major factor. That said, Harvard Square is lively in the evenings, so budget a few minutes to navigate pedestrian traffic as you make your way to the club. Rideshare users can coordinate pickup and dropoff right on Palmer Street or a nearby corner.

Venue Navigation

Inside, Club Passim is a single-room, cabaret-style listening room — simple to navigate and purpose-built for close-up performances. General admission tables and chairs are spread throughout the room, and because capacity is just 102, you’re never far from the stage.

Concessions feature a light menu with snacks, sandwiches, and drinks, plus local craft beer and wine selections. Restrooms are available, and artist merchandise is typically sold at shows. With street-level entry and a compact footprint, moving around the space is straightforward and low-effort.

Pre-Event Planning

Make a night of it in Harvard Square — one of Greater Boston’s most vibrant neighborhoods. With excellent restaurants and cafés steps from the door, you can enjoy dinner before the music starts and still arrive early for preferred seating. If you’re catching back-to-back performances or festival showcases, checking the Club Passim schedule in advance helps you time your arrival.

Club Passim offers more than concerts — you’ll also find community events and music workshops on select dates. If you’re coordinating with friends or a group, pick a meeting spot on Palmer Street and enter together so you can choose seats side by side. The intimate size makes it easy to stay connected once you’re inside.

Planning a multi-night visit during the Campfire Festival or other recurring showcases? Build in time to explore Harvard Square between sets — the area is especially lively in the evenings, and everything you need is within a short walk.
