RDA Approves Use Permit Addendum for Christmas City Spirits' Pride Party Palooa Event

The Redevelopment Authority of the City of Bethlehem reviewed and considered for approval an addendum to the use permit agreement with Christmas City Spirits. This addendum pertains to the use of the RDA portion of the Sun Inn Courtyard property for the 2026 Pride Party Palooa event, scheduled for June 14th, 2026. The board discussed the possibility of streamlining the approval process for recurring events on this parcel to avoid individual votes each time, with the potential for delegated authority under defined limitations. The motion to approve the addendum was made, seconded, and passed by the board.
