Canada Dry, eh?! Walking Tour
Canada Dry, eh?! Walking Tour
Prohibition in North America was an interesting time in history.
Join us on a Walk Tour in the downtown area and learn the causes of Prohibition, why Canada went through two Prohibitions, and the human-interest stories that contributed to this fascinating era in Canadian history.
As your tour guide weaves through downtown Calgary bringing Prohibition to life, they will paint the picture of the cause of Prohibition and provide you the stories that contributed to this colorful time in history. You’ll learn of the riot that broke out at the Courthouse, the location of the “stash” from a robbery gone bad, the loop-holes, the speakeasy’s, and of course, the lasting effects of Prohibition in Canada.
This 2-hour walk tour begins at the old Calgary Courthouse and ends at the Fairmont Palliser Hotel where you will enjoy one (1) Prohibition-style drink.
Your tour guide will lead the group at a comfortable pace and make stops as needed.
Due to the subject nature of this tour and current liquor laws, we request that participants be 18 years old and up.
