About Port City Marina

Port City Marina is a premier riverfront venue in the heart of Wilmington, NC. Located at 10 Harnett St, this protected deep-water marina features a dedicated event space (Pier 33) capable of hosting large summer concerts, festivals, and touring acts. Whether you’re planning a concert, festival, or special event, we’ve got you covered with practical details on seating, parking, and nearby hospitality to help you secure your plans with ease.

Historically, Pier 33 has welcomed thousands of attendees for events like Friday Night Live!, Pier Palooza, and the Sunset Concert Series. The marina supports floating slips and vessels up to 400 feet, but for events, the focus is on the open, versatile Pier 33 layout and the bandshell area that accommodates large crowds. Note that the venue itself remains active under Zephyr Development Co. branding since 2025, while the marina continues to operate as a dedicated event hub on Wilmington’s riverfront.

When you’re ready to make plans, think of Port City Marina as your straightforward option for riverfront vibes, strong regional acts, and dependable access to parking, transit, and nearby hotels and dining. We’ve got you covered with practical details and trusted partner recommendations to help you secure your seats and finalize arrangements efficiently.

Parking options include The Met Parking Garage, CFCC Parking, Pier 33 Parking, Wilmington Convention Center Parking, and Skyline Center Parking, with boat parking available on the pier. For transit, enjoy seasonal Port City Trolley service and Wave Transit options in downtown Wilmington, making it easy to reach the venue from surrounding neighborhoods and hotels.

Nearby hotels within walking distance include Embassy Suites Wilmington Riverfront, Aloft Wilmington at Coastline Center, and Best Western Plus Coastline Inn, offering convenient lodging with riverfront views and easy access to Pier 33. For dining, explore waterfront restaurants and casual spots in the Riverfront district to fuel your concert-going or event day. We highlight affiliate partner recommendations for hotels and restaurants to help you choose reliable options with easy booking and great value.

Whether you’re catching a touring act like The Movement or Tribal Seeds at Pier 33, attending a seasonal event like Friday Night Live! or the Sunset Concert Series, or planning a private event, Port City Marina provides a straightforward, dependable experience—like having a friend in the business who can help you secure your seats and navigate logistics.
