Getting to the Knit-Out

We’ve been asked exactly where on the Boston Common the Knit-Out will be.

The Knit-Out will take place at the Boston Common’s gazebo, which is on the Tremont Street side of the Common. It’s near the intersection of West Street and Tremont. An easy way to find the gazebo: It’s very close to the Boston Visitor Center, an easily noticeable landmark on the Tremont Street side of the Common. And it’s about halfway between the T stops for Park Street station (Red and Green lines) and Boylston Street station (Green Line).
