Memorial Day Weekend is right around the corner, which means warm-weather, summer energy is officially on the horizon. One of the best parts about the unofficial start of summer in Hudson County is the endless lineup of local activities for both residents and visitors to enjoy. One of those activities is Pier 13 — Hoboken’s seasonal outdoor beer garden overlooking the Hudson River. Pier 13 will open for the 2026 season on Friday, May 1st, at 1301 Sinatra Drive North, and we’re sharing everything you need to know. Read on for more details about Pier 13’s 2026 season in Hoboken, New Jersey.
Pier 13 2026
Pier 13, located at 1301 Sinatra Drive North in Hoboken, is gearing up to open for the 2026 season this weekend. Based on comments from the team on social media, opening day is tentatively scheduled for this weekend, weather permitting.
Locals can expect a similar vibe to past seasons — including live music, a rotating lineup of local food trucks, and those signature waterfront views that mark the start of summer. This summer, though, the team is introducing 11 new food trucks and new seasonal events, like FIFA watch parties and live DJ performances.
Pier 13 has a varied drink menu for visitors to enjoy while hanging out on the waterfront, ranging from draft beers to cocktails, sangria, and frozen drinks, among other options. A few beverages visitors can expect to find on the menu include the P13R Tiki Punch, spicy margs, dragonfruit mojitos, and frozen mango chili lemonade. The full drink menu can be found on the website. The outdoor space will also continue to feature various local food trucks daily, when open (more on that below).
Pier 13 doesn’t accept reservations, so keep that in mind if you visit with a crowd. Table seating is required and is on a first-come, first-served basis. Stay updated with the most recent information on Instagram and the website.
Food Truck Lineup
One of the main attractions at Pier 13 is the myriad of food truck options, and this year is no exception. A few of the already announced spots include Amandas Bananas, Electric Wings, Gringos Tacos, and Lobster Trap. Once plans are finalized, the daily food truck lineup can be found here.
Amanda Bananas is one of the returning fan-favorite food trucks, which serves up delicious dairy- and gluten-free ice cream made entirely from bananas and/or mangoes. For a list of other food trucks to scope out in the area, click here.
