MECU Pavilion, also known by its long-time former name Pier Six Pavilion, is a music venue located at 731 Eastern Avenue in Baltimore, Maryland. The waterfront venue is located on Pier Six of the Inner Harbor and opened in 1981. It has featured a wide variety of music acts, ranging from rock to jazz.[5] The naming rights of the venue were sold to the Municipal Employees Credit Union of Baltimore in April 2018, effectively changing its name to "MECU Pavilion."[6]

On November 30, 2016, a contract was approved to allow Live Nation and SMG co-operate Pier Six for up to 10 years.[7] As part of the agreement, the pavilion is currently undergoing a renovation that includes the installation of a new tent and seats.[8]
