About Discovery Pier

Venue Blue on the Pier is owned and operated by Discovery Pier, a non-profit organization in Traverse City, Michigan.

At Discovery Pier, we make it our mission to connect people of all ages, needs and abilities with the Great Lakes, removing barriers, improving accessibility and encouraging engagement. We partner with educational and recreational organizations to ensure our docks are a hub for maritime experiences, and we leverage our partnerships to create programs and provide free opportunities to youth around the region. From our accessible public pier to innovative programming, everyone can experience the greatness of our lakes.

Your venue rental will help to fund experiences on the Great Lakes – sailing, charter fishing, boating, and more – for local youth and people with disabilities. Thank you!
