From the marshlands and forests of the Chochenyo, Muwekma and Ohlone people, to railroads, bathing resorts, saloons and tattoo parlors; from Neptune Beach, the Aerodrome and the Naval Air Station to the large-scale commercial and housing developments we see today, Alameda’s West End has always been home to a vibrant mix of people, cultures and traditions.
Rhythmix Island City Waterways Art Walk: West End celebrates where we came from, where we are today, and where we’re going, with live performances of music and dance from Zimbabwe, Colombia, Oakland and Alameda on Webster Street, Friday, October 15th from 5:00-8:00pm. Free to the public, the Art Walk is intended to invigorate the streets with vitality and recognition of Alameda’s ever-changing West End.
