HOLLYWOOD PALLADIUM

Opened in 1940, this venue built in the Art Deco style has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 2016. While the Palladium today hosts fairly large concerts with an eclectic program, it also hosted radio shows in its early decades of operation. In addition, swing, jazz, mambo, and cha-cha-cha, which was very popular in the mid-1950s, were played there. Finally, several important political moments took place there, such as a speech by Martin Luther King Jr. in 1965.
