About Union Pier - Charleston

Union Pier - Charleston is a waterfront cargo/cruise terminal located at Union Pier Terminal, 32 Washington Street, Charleston, SC 29401. While not a traditional concert hall, the site has hosted notable events such as the PreserVISIONist Soirée 2025 and other special occasions near the historic Charleston waterfront. The facility offers long berth space and a versatile setting for special events, pop-up performances, and hosted gatherings. As redevelopment discussions continue toward a mixed-use waterfront district, the location remains a key anchor point on the Charleston peninsula known for its proximity to downtown hotels, dining, and transportation options.

Getting there is straightforward for guests and organizers. Union Pier Lot B provides limited parking for approved permits, located at 196 Concord Street, with roughly 70 spaces available for hospitality workers and events. CARTA’s Hospitality on Peninsula (HOP) route serves areas around Union Pier Lot B, making it easier for attendees to reach the site without relying on private cars. Nearby hotels such as Market Pavilion Hotel, Mills House Charleston, and The Charleston Place offer convenient stays within walking distance or a short ride. Dining options include Fleet Landing Restaurant & Bar at 186 Concord Street, a popular choice before or after events. While the site is undergoing redevelopment discussions, there is no announced renaming or demolition plan, and the Union Pier area remains an active part of Charleston’s waterfront landscape. If you’re planning an event or a visit, we’ve got you covered with practical details, trusted local partners, and seamless booking support.
