Public Pier transforms Toronto’s waterfront into a vibrant day-to-night destination

Explore local food and drink, live DJs, dance workshops, interactive public art and immersive SILO NIGHTS projections as this bold new experience reimagines one of the city’s most iconic waterfront spaces.

About this project:

Public Pier is a collaborative public-realm pilot that temporarily transforms Marina Quay West into a vibrant waterfront destination for culture, gathering and public life.

Through food and drink, DJs, dancing, interactive public art and SILO NIGHTS’ large-scale projections, Public Pier explores how creative placemaking can bring people to this underused site and help reveal its potential as a future public space and cultural destination.

Public Pier is presented by The Bentway, Harbourfront Centre, OCAD University and the Waterfront BIA, with Toronto Port Authority as Lead Sponsor.
