The Terminal B Events Center and Bell Slip is now open on the Outer Harbor in Buffalo, a new $13 million outdoor venue on the city's waterfront.

The project converted an existing 100,000-square-foot enclosed structure into an open-air structure featuring a canopied stage that will be utilized for performances, not-for-profit events, and cultural organizations. Previously used as a storage facility, this is the first time Terminal B has been accessible to the public since 1967.

Gov. Kathy Hochul's office said the projects give residents and visitors new ways to access and enjoy all of the Outer Harbor's amenities and attractions. 

"The Terminal B Events Center and Bell Slip Improvement Project emblemize the next phase in our transformation of Buffalo’s Outer Harbor," Gov. Hochul said. "They will help to ensure that generations of Western New Yorkers will continue to enjoy the waterfront, with all of its natural beauty and recreational opportunities. It’s fitting that we’re opening these sites on the same day that we’re witnessing a total solar eclipse - a generational spectacle."

Outer Harbor Live! at Terminal B will kick off on May 24 with Chappel Roan.
