New St. Pete Pier will open May 30
The City of St. Petersburg announced Thursday morning that the new St. Pete Pier will officially open at 10 a.m. Saturday, May 30.
The announcement was made with a 55-second video featuring Mayor Rick Kriseman, Deputy Mayor Kanika Tomalin and others. “It’s the beginning of a new era in St. Pete,” Kriseman said in the video. “The future has arrived in the form of a dynamic, 26-acre pier district.”
The projected final cost for the multi-use pier – featuring restaurants, a wooded walking area, an outdoor amphitheater and more – is $92 million.

I am very excited to see the all the people engage in all the new pier features soon. I especially like all the activities for the kids and family features. Our community has something to be very proud of and, even though I was sceptical at the beginning, I am now very enthusiastic about this project. St Petersburg is now a world class City!
