The City Council wants to look at getting Huntington Beach out of its contract with the operator of a controversial light show planned for Huntington Central Park.

The turnaround for the City Council comes a little over half a year since a unanimous decision in February to enter into the three-year contract for the Symphony of Flowers installation. The operator, Flowers of the Sky Entertainment, LLC, had said the show should bring Huntington Beach at least $150,000 in annual revenue, which councilmembers said could help address a growing budget deficit over the next few years.

There has since been mounting public criticism over the show’s potential to adversely impact wildlife in the park and the open space it would take up for multiple months at a time.
