“Radium Runway” Brand New Outdoor Alameda Arts Festival (Oct. 21-23)

The three-day event featuring Jazz Mafia, Circus Bella and Island City Opera—with an appearance from internationally renowned mezzo-soprano Fredericka von Stade—will be the first in a series of events through 2023 to mark the proposed footprint of RADIUM, the future state of the art 500 seat theater and arts center on the grounds of the former Naval Air Station.

Performances come complete with the dramatic backdrop of the San Francisco skyline, Friday, October 21 through October 23 at Alameda Point; all events are FREE and open to the public but RSVP via radiumpresents.org is strongly encouraged.

RADIUM Presents is proud to announce Radium Runway, the first in a series of events at the former Alameda Naval Air station through 2023 in support of their ambitious plan to build RADIUM, a 500 seat theater and arts center there. The three-day event is FREE and will show off some prime examples of the talent who call the Bay Area home: Jazz Mafia, Circus Bella, and Island City Opera, that will include an appearance by the legendary mezzo soprano Frederica von Stade, who not only lives in Alameda, but is a key player in the drive to make RADIUM a reality. Radium Runway will take place on the proposed footprint of the theater and performance center and can be thought of as an early prototype of sorts.
