About America's Cup Pavilion

The America's Cup Pavilion was a distinctive outdoor waterfront amphitheater along San Francisco's Embarcadero between Piers 27 and 29. Built to support the 2013 America's Cup events and related performances, this temporary structure offered sweeping bay views and flexible seating arrangements for up to the best available price guests. While the pavilion operated primarily from May through October 2013, its legacy lives on in the waterfront entertainment vibe it created and the redevelopment conversations around Pier 29.

Whether you’re seeking a venue for a big concert, a family outing, or a special waterfront experience, this page provides practical insights on seating options, transportation, parking, and nearby hotel and dining choices to help you plan a seamless visit to the Embarcadero area.

Note: The America’s Cup Pavilion was a temporary installation and has since been dismantled. The Pier 29 area has continued to evolve with arts and culture initiatives. When planning future events in the area, look for current venues and pop-up spaces that capture the same waterfront energy and accessibility that visitors enjoyed during Cup season.
