Alameda Neon Walking Tour

  • John S. Towata Flowers 2305 Santa Clara Avenue Alameda, CA, 94501 United States (map)

From the grandeur of the Alameda Theater 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, Devi L. Dahl, and winds through a quiet bungalow neighborhood and the commercial corridors of Alameda, architecture insights and historical backstories included.

7pm tour will be led by Devi L. Dahl and Randall Ann Homan. Space is limited so book early, this event will sell out quickly.

This tour was developed for and premiered at the Neon Speaks Festival and Symposium.
