Getting to the Faire

The Cherry Street Pier is at 121 N. Columbus Boulevard in Philadelphia. It is located along the Delaware River waterfront, about 2 blocks north of Penn’s Landing and just south of Race Street Pier. It is a short walk from the Old City historic district.

 

Walking or Biking

The Cherry Street Pier is along the Delaware River Trail, which is currently complete from Washington Avenue to Penn Treaty Park. The scenic Delaware River Trail serves walking, jogging, and cycling. There are bike racks available at the Cherry Street Pier.

Note: Some sidewalks or pedestrian paths may be closed during the construction of the new park at Penn’s Landing.

 

The best walking routes to reach the Delaware River Trail and Cherry Street Pier from Center City are via the Market Street bridge or Spruce Street.

Riding Bus or Rail

The SEPTA Market-Frankford Subway Line stops at Second Street Station, which is about a 10 minute walk from the pier.

From the Second Street Station, walk east across the Market Street Bridge, descend the stairs (or ramp) and then walk north along Columbus Blvd./Delaware River Trail to the Cherry Street Pier.

 

SEPTA bus routes 5, 12, 17, 21, 25, 42, and 48 provide transportation close to the pier. Some of these routes have different start and end locations in effect due to the park construction at Penn’s Landing.
