Step back in time to an era of glitz, glamour, and excitement at the Roaring ’20s Speakeasy Soirée! We’re celebrating the 40th Anniversary of the Friends of Lower Fort Garry in style, and we want YOU to be part of the magic.
Join us for an outdoor cocktail party on the beautiful grounds of Lower Fort Garry, where the charm of the 1920s meets modern-day fun. Rain or shine, the soirée will go on — we’ve got you covered with tents and plenty of atmosphere to make sure the night is nothing short of spectacular.
Transport yourself to a Prohibition-era speakeasy, where the music is swinging, the drinks are flowing, and the energy is electric. Enjoy a night of modern jazz, live swing dancing, delicious interactive food stations, and specialty cocktails (or mocktails for those who prefer to stay sober). It’s a celebration of history, elegance, and fun — with a touch of 1920s flair!
Highlights of the Evening:
- Interactive food stations featuring a mash potato bar, pasta and salad stations, decadent desserts, and more.
- Signature cocktails and mocktails to keep you refreshed all night long at the cash bar
- Live jazz and swing music to set the mood for a night of dancing and celebration.
- A secret, speakeasy-inspired entrance and the chance to dress in your best 1920s-inspired attire or summer cocktail look.
- Gatsby Era Games
- Photo areas and much more surprises….!
Whether you’re a history buff, a lover of the ’20s, or just looking for a fabulous night out, the Roaring ’20s Speakeasy Soirée is the place to be!
Dress Code: 1920s-inspired fashion or summer cocktail attire. Flapper dresses, suits, fedoras, and pearls are highly encouraged!
