HistoryMiami Museum Celebrates 100 years of Jai-alai

On the eve of Magic City’s Jai-alai Labor Day weekend, dozens of jai-alai aficionados attended the HistoryMiami Museum for the special grand opening of their latest exhibit on jai-alai.  The reception was put on by Magic City Jai-alai and the city of Miami and featured some great appetizers and drinks.     

HistoryMiami Museum, a Smithsonian Affiliate located in downtown Miami,  safeguards and shares Miami stories to foster learning, inspire a sense of place, and cultivate an engaged community. We connect people by telling the stories of their communities, individuals, places and events. Every exhibition, artistic endeavor, city tour, educational program, research effort and publication we present is another step closer to everyone understanding the critical value of the past in shaping our collective future.  

Scott Savin gave a speech as jai-alai has been a special part of Miami history that started 100 years ago, and lives on.
