Plan Your Next Unforgettable Event at Pier 36, NYC’s Premier Waterfront Venue

Image

We’ve partnered with Pier 36 (Basketball City) to cater some truly unforgettable events—and we’re just getting started. If you’re looking for a bold, flexible, and spacious NYC event venue with serious wow factor, this waterfront event space delivers on every level.

Located at Pier 36 on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, the venue offers over 70,000 square feet of raw, versatile space. Originally known as a state-of-the-art basketball facility, it’s now one of New York City’s most in-demand venues for corporate events, galas, brand activations, fashion shows, concerts, and more.

With seven regulation courts, high ceilings, and stunning East River views, it’s a venue that can transform from a tournament space to a candlelit dinner to a full-scale product launch—all in a single day.

We love working here because it allows for limitless creativity. The space is a true blank canvas: ideal for large-scale events in NYC, yet intimate enough for experiences that feel personal and customized. The venue team is collaborative, the logistics are seamless (yes, there’s on-site parking!), and the backdrop—iconic NYC bridges and waterfront views—is unmatched.

Built for Impact, Rooted in Community

Beyond its flexibility and scale, Pier 36 has a strong foundation in community engagement, hosting NBA events, youth clinics, and nonprofit galas that give back. It’s a venue that doesn’t just host events—it creates lasting impact.

If you’re ready to plan your next event at one of the most exciting event venues in New York City, let’s talk. From elegant seated dinners to high-energy basketball tournaments, Great Performances will help you bring your vision to life at Pier 36 (Basketball City).
