A 400-plus-seat beer garden and a 5,000-square-foot performance space will bring a burst of vibrancy to Boston Common that city officials say has been sorely missing for years at the corner near the Boylston MBTA station.

The new seasonal venue will open Thursday when officials and community members gather for a ribbon cutting celebration at 5:15 p.m.

The effort combines the forces of Emerson College with family-owned local businesses Trillium Brewing and El Barrio Tacos to open the “UnCommon Stage and the Trillium Garden on the Common.”. The project is part of Mayor Michelle Wu’s long-term goal of “reimagining” America’s oldest park.

“This new performance venue and beer garden on Boston Common will activate the historic park, and our Downtown, with performances that represent all of our residents of Boston and a new, beautiful outdoor gathering space for all,” the mayor said in a release.

Residents and guests will get the opportunity to check out the new venue during the summer and into the fall as it’s slated to run through Nov. 1. The outdoor beer garden will be open Wednesdays and Thursdays from 4 to 9 p.m., Fridays and Saturdays from noon to 9 p.m., and Sundays from noon to 6 p.m.

Officials say the garden is open to all and will offer a variety of beverages and food from Trillium and Taqueria el Barrio. Daily entertainment and programming, including local musicians, radio broadcasts, DJs, comedy shows and more, will be offered on Emerson’s ‘Uncommon Stage’.

Temporary restrooms will be set up within the garden, according to the city Parks and Recreation Department.

Parks Commissioner Ryan Woods called the venue a “perfect spot to grab a bite or spend time with friends and family” and touted how it will strengthen other citywide recreational programs.

The city is expected to receive between $130,000 and $150,000 from the gathering spot, Woods said earlier this year. That money will then go toward the city’s Fund for Parks and Recreation in Boston, a nonprofit that supports recreational programs using vendor payments.

Officials say this is part of the vision from the “Boston Common Master Plan,” a comprehensive report that shows how they plan to go about enhancing underused spaces throughout the park.

“Creating opportunities to experience arts and culture in the Boston Common is an excellent way to draw residents and visitors in, foster creative expression, and spread joy,” said Kara Elliott-Ortega, the city’s chief of arts and culture.
