Gateway Pavilion Could Be Used for Downtown Events
If/when the Gateway Project is finally up and running, the city plans to lease the Gateway Pavilion for festivals and art events. City Manager Kent Myers intends to make the pavilion “the heart of downtown Port Angeles.”
He said: “The goal is to have something down there all of the time. It’s going to be a busy place. Visibly, you will see a lot of activity.”
Tentatively it would cost $75 a day to rent the pavilion, but that amount hasn’t been approved by the City Council yet.
Myers also said the city wants the Port Angeles Farmers Market to use the pavilion instead of their current location at Clallam County Courthouse parking lot. Farmers Market Vice President Jane Vanderhoof said she isn’t sure the pavilion would be right for the market; there isn’t any feasible location where vehicles can pull up and load/unload their produce. But it would certainly be nice to have them back in town.
Arts in Action has expressed interest in using the pavilion; they currently use City Pier for their annual event. And Ann Manildi, executive director of the Strait of Juan de Fuca Festival, said she might use the pavilion as one of their stages during their annual Memorial Day weekend festival.

The Juan de Fuca festival there would be perfect...you couldn't tell the regular hippies from the homeless hippies!
Lizzie, have you learned to cook a steak yet?
Neanderthals, I mean, conservatives haven't discovered fire yet.
This is great news. Events at the pavilion are just what downtown PA needs.
Terrific! Since we got Gateway whether we wanted it or not (ahem) we may as well make the most of it. Even I have to admit the pavilion is really beautiful.
Would Edna even let the Farmer's Market use the Gateway Pavilion?
I don't know this for sure, but I think Edna only objected to closing off Laurel Street for the farmers market, not the market itself. There are a few other upscale business owners who didn't want the farmers market "riff raff" coming into downtown, but I don't think Edna was one of them.
oh give me a BREAK...the Edna fiasco was indeed an EDNA spearhead campaign. There were no "upscale" businesses that opposed. This is downtown PA you're talking about. There were a handful of businesses opposed, and most of them are out of business now (because they make such smart decisions, hahaha).
EDNA wanted the market to go, go go.
Now, given that this is all ancient history....let's give it a rest.
Well then ... why are you talking about it?
Off topic here -- anybody see the letters section in today's PDN? This must be 'Be Kind To Rednecks Day' at the local rag. 4 letters in a row, all straight out of Rush Limbaughland.
