Prohibition 1923

Step back into the Roaring Twenties at Prohibition 1923, a speakeasy-themed event in Hamburg that channels the era of illegal liquor and jazz. Guests can expect an immersive atmosphere with period-appropriate decor, live music, and clandestine cocktails served in hidden corners.

The event draws inspiration from the 1923 Alberta prohibition plebiscite, where voters narrowly chose to end prohibition in favor of government-controlled liquor sales. This historical backdrop adds depth to the evening, blending education with entertainment.

The plebiscite saw 58% of voters reject total prohibition, leading to government-run liquor stores and licensed taverns. Attendees can explore this pivotal moment in temperance history through themed activities and discussions.
