District Pier at The Wharf Live Cam

The District Pier at The Wharf is a popular destination for visitors to Washington, D.C. The Wharf itself is a waterfront development project that began in 2014 and spans 3.2 million square feet along the Potomac River.

The District Pier is one of the key features of The Wharf, offering a public gathering space and a venue for events, concerts, and other activities. It features a large canopy structure that provides shade and shelter from the elements, and a spacious open plaza that can accommodate large crowds.

The history of the District Pier dates back to the early 20th century when the area was primarily a commercial port. In the 1920s, the Washington Fish and Oyster Company built a large pier on the site to support its operations. Over time, the pier fell into disrepair and was eventually demolished.

In 2017, the new District Pier was completed as part of The Wharf development project. The pier was designed to be a flexible space that could host a wide range of events and activities, from concerts and festivals to public art installations and community gatherings.
