'Boom Party' Noise Persists In Cinnaminson; Meeting To Address Years-Long Issue

PALMYRA, NJ — As Cinnaminson's battle against "boom parties" across the Delaware continues, officials will hold a meeting Thursday in which residents can voice concerns.

The community meeting will begin at 7 p.m. Thursday in the Palmyra Community Center (30 West Broad St., Palmyra). Police representatives from Cinnaminson, Philadelphia and other nearby agencies will be present.

The blaring noise from boom parties — large gatherings where people blast music from cars with massive speakers — has irritated local residents for several years. While the parties occur in Philadelphia, residents can hear the noise across the Delaware River in communities such as Cinnaminson and Palmyra.
