About this Event

From the grandeur of the Alameda Theater neon blade sign to the nearly invisible Pop Inn, downtown Alameda boasts a fine collection of vintage neon. Meet on the sidewalk in front of the John S. Towata Flower Shop, a stunning mid-century storefront with rare green Vitrolite tiles and a raceway neon sign.

This hour-long tour was developed by Alameda local historian, Devi L. Dahl. The tour route winds through a quiet bungalow neighborhood and the commercial corridors of Alameda, architecture insights and historical backstories included.

Don't miss out on this unique opportunity to see Alameda in a whole new light! Space is limited to 12 people, register early. Two tour dates: Sept 7 and Sept 14. This tour will sell out!

This is an official event of the Neon Speaks Festival and Symposium.
