Overview

Pacific Palisades is a community in Los Angeles, and is politically represented by the Mayor of Los Angeles. The Honorary Mayor of Pacific Palisades is usually a celebrity and local resident who serves a term typically-lasting 2 years though some have served longer. The Honorary Mayor makes nonbinding decisions for the community, and is a figurehead who appears at town events such as menorah lighting and the annual "Palisades Rocks The Fourth!" event.[3]

History

2020–present

Jewish-Canadian actor and comedian Eugene Levy was selected by Palisades Chamber of Commerce Chairwoman Sarah Knauer and President & CEO Bob Benton on September 21, 2020. Levy is a longtime resident of the area, and lives in the Alphabet Streets neighborhood of Pacific Palisades. Levy also resides in Canada part of the year, and will only serve as honorary mayor when he is in the area.[4]

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Eugene Levy was the first honorary mayor of the Palisades to be inaugurated virtually, rather than with a one person inauguration ceremony as has been the custom in the past. Levy was inaugurated as honorary mayor during a two-hour Zoom session featuring local residents and members of the Pacific Palisades Chamber of Commerce, which nominates each honorary mayor. The virtual ceremony also featured former honorary mayors Martin Short and Janice and Billy Crystal.[5][1][2]
