The Garden at Cherry Street Pier: A Philadelphia Waterfront Event Venue

The Garden at Cherry Street Pier is a Philadelphia waterfront event venue set along the Delaware River beneath the Pier’s historic steel trusses. River views, the Benjamin Franklin Bridge and the century-old industrial structure give the space a distinctly Philadelphia backdrop without requiring much additional scenery.

Guest Experience and Amenities

Cherry Street Pier is a year-round public arts and culture destination with artist studios, exhibitions, food vendors and programming throughout the property. The Garden remains an outdoor venue and is not climate controlled, so rentals are weather dependent. Bar and catering packages are available, and outside catering is not permitted for Garden rentals.

For private events that want river views, industrial architecture and a setting that feels unmistakably Philadelphia, The Garden at Cherry Street Pier offers one of the waterfront’s more distinctive outdoor spaces.
