Welcome to the Other Tea Party… if you dare.
There’s the regular tea parties, and then there’s ours, the Other Tea Party. On Saturday, October 18, 2025, the doors to Artists Ink Studios in Oldtown Salinas will creak open just for you. All ages are welcome… but only the brave will stay for the whole adventure.
At the Other Tea Party, you won’t just sip tea, you’ll taste spooky charcuterie, savory desserts, buttery popcorn, mocktails, and fall tea blends that are far too delicious to belong in the “real” world.
We’ll be watching Coraline (of course), surrounded by shadows, laughter, and just enough mystery to keep you on your toes. And don’t forget the activities: DIY art kits, Coraline dolls, pumpkin painting, raffles, tea leaf readings, and Borderlands Tarot readings with the award-winning Enid Baxter Ryce.
Tickets: $45 per person
Time: 4:00 PM – 7:00 PM
Place: Artists Ink Studios, 1 Midtown Lane, Salinas, CA 93901
Come if you’re curious. Stay if you’re bold. After all, the Other Tea Party isn’t just a fundraiser, it’s a place where art and imagination walk hand in hand… and maybe, just maybe, you’ll never want to leave.
