About this Event

Take a twilight walking tour and see the beautiful neon signs in the historic city of Alameda, CA. 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 8 and Sept 29.

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