Residents ask city to address nightly Palladium light-and-music show; mayor offers to investigate
Summary
A resident representing tenants of the Play Fair building said a nightly light-and-music show at the Palladium runs loudly into the night. Mayor Finkham said she would look into the hours and volume and offered to meet with complainants.
A resident speaking for tenants of the Play Fair building near the Palladium told a town hall the venue’s nightly light‑and‑music show now runs continuously for about five hours and ends as late as 11:15 p.m., with repeated music audible inside nearby residences.
The resident said the show’s earlier incarnation ran for shorter, 30‑minute cycles but that the current schedule and volume feel excessive to nearby neighbors and urged the city to identify who to contact to resolve the issue. She said neighbors have been told by one city representative that because money was spent on the project the operators must be allowed to run the show, a response she characterized as an unsatisfactory explanation.
Mayor Finkham told the audience she did not have the event’s current schedule or technical details at the meeting but said city staff had previously adjusted the show’s hours and that she would investigate and follow up. The mayor invited residents to contact her office so city staff can arrange a meeting with residents to review hours and volume and examine whether further adjustments are warranted.
Why it matters: repeated nighttime noise and light shows can affect quality of life for adjacent residents; the mayor’s office said it would review hours and volume and meet with complainants to explore mitigations.
