ACE Pop-up Museum at Star Market – This Saturday, October 14!

 

The ACE Pop-up Museum is coming to the Star Market this Saturday, October 14th, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The Star Market is located at 1275 S. Main St. in Salinas. The theme of the pop-up is “Farm to Table: Markets, Menus, and Meals.” ACE is partnering with the Star Market to promote our mission to preserve the history and cultural identity of Salinas Chinatown and to invite our community to shop at the Star Market.

Have a story, photo, or object relating to “Markets, Menus, & Meals” from Salinas Chinatown or your experience growing up in Salinas? Please stop by and share it with us, and tell us your story. We can create a label for it and exhibit it during the pop-up.  This is also a chance for you to ask questions or bring us your ideas for the Chinatown Revitalization Project. Thinking of joining ACE? This will be a chance to meet ACE members and sign up.

This event is also a fundraiser for ACE. We’ll be selling advance tickets for our fantastic Tri-tip Take-out Dinners, which will be available for take-out on Saturday, Nov. 4, at the Salinas Buddhist Temple, 14 California St.
