Welcome to our guests from all over the world. Our event will be taking place on March 28 and 29, 2025 at Tufts University, in our Medford campus. This campus is located just five miles northwest of Boston and may be easily reached by car or public transportation. The event will be held at the Granoff Music Center, located at 20 Talbot Avenue, Medford Massachusetts


Public Transportation 

If you are coming by the MBTA subway, often called the “T,” you can travel to Tufts on the Red Line or the Green Line. 

The E branch of the Green Line brings you closest to Granoff Music Center. Take the Green Line E branch to the Medford/Tufts stop. When exiting the station onto Boston Avenue, the Granoff Music Center is located about two blocks away. 

Alternatively, you can take the Red Line to the Porter Square station. Exit the Porter Square station and look for the bus stop on the far side of the shopping center. You may take the #94 or #96 bus (which both leave from the Davis Square T entrance directly across from the 7-Eleven convenience store, NOT the entrance next to the Somerville Theatre) or walk 15 minutes along College Avenue to the Tufts campus.

Here are some options for public transportation from Logan Airport to the Granoff Music Center. 

 

Parking

Visitors to the Medford/Somerville campus should park in the Dowling Hall Garage. The entrance is located at 419 Boston Avenue, Medford, Massachusetts.  For further instructions on parking and directions, click here.
