Brant Street Pier is an attraction located in Spencer Smith Park at the waterfront at Downtown Burlington.
It officially opened during the Sound of Music Festival in Spencer Smith Park on the Father's Day weekend of June 2013.
The pier is the final phase of the Downtown Waterfront Project: expansion of the Art Gallery of Burlington, construction of the 380-vehicle Locust Street parking facility, and opening of Discovery Landing.
A well-known philanthropist, who was going to donate a $10 million sculpture Untitled (Head Through Belly), pulled out of the deal after locals opposed to it.

The city then took the hand print impressions of the seven children as part of leaving their legacy with the Brant Street Pier.
