Historic Palace Theatre

When the Palace Theatre opened on July 18, 1925, Lock City Theater Company President A. Edmund Lee told a capacity crowd that it was “built not for the aristocracy, but for all the people” and that they had successfully “extended Broadway into Lockport and to the people of Niagara.” Those statements ring true to this day, as the Palace shines like a beacon for the arts and entertainment that are so vital to our community — and to our collective lives.
