The Riverfront Speakeasy presented by LiUNA!625 aims to transform Windsor’s waterfront into a prohibition-era experience. The event takes place on Saturday, Aug. 22, from 5 to 10 p.m. at the Legacy Beacon in Michael D. Hurst Legacy Park, 780 Riverside Drive West. This free and family-friendly event invites guests to explore hidden corners of the riverfront filled with interactive art, fortune tellers, live entertainment and immersive experiences inspired by the glamour and intrigue of the 1920s. Tours of Historic Streetcar No. 351 Display and Exhibition Windsor’s Legacy Beacon and Streetcar No. 351 site is operated by Museum Windsor and was nominated for Best Waterfront View in the 11th Annual Best of Windsor-Essex Awards this year by Tourism Windsor Essex Pelee Island.

For the Riverfront Speakeasy, tours of Streetcar No. 351 will be offered from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Riverfront patio Beginning at 5 p.m., guests can relax on the Streetcar No. 351 patio — a beautiful 10,000 square-foot space offering picturesque views at water level and from the new viewing platform above the facility, where they can enjoy local wines, craft beers, spirits and Prohibition-inspired cocktails before following the clues to discover the Hidden Speakeasy tucked away along the riverfront. 1920s attire is encouraged for guests looking to embrace the spirit of the evening, but costumes are not required. There is, however, one thing visitors may need: the secret password. Guests are encouraged to bring a lawn chair or blanket to settle in and enjoy the live entertainment at the Hidden Speakeasy. Free parking is available directly across from the event on Caron Avenue just south of Riverside Drive in Municipal Lot #23.
