LONGWOOD’S PLACEMAKING INITIATIVE

Winter Outside// has wrapped up for the 2025 season! Thank you to all who attended our weekly Winter Wednesdays, stopping by to enjoy a warm drink, listen to live music, and connect with the community. It is the employees, students, and visitors in Longwood that enlivens the Outside// season year after year. 

Stay tuned on Instagram (@longwoodarea) and Twitter (@longwood_LMA) for updates on our upcoming main season programming!

WHAT IS OUTSIDE//?

Outside// transforms underutilized plazas and walkways into public spaces for all to relax, have fun, and connect with one another. Outside// provides programs across its 11 locations including a Wag Wednesday dog program, 20 hours of live music performances each week, a 400-title Reading Room library, weekly fitness classes, new public art, and weekly food trucks. Outside// was created by Longwood Collective in 2019 in partnership with Boston Children's Hospital, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Brigham and Women's Hospital, and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
