Dark History of East Village Tour

“Step into the shadows of one of Calgary’s older neighborhoods on this chilling walking tour through the East Village. Discover the untold stories behind the city’s original red light district, where brothels, bootleggers, and backroom deals once shaped the streets. As we explore hidden corners, you’ll hear tales of vice and scandal that reveal a darker side of Calgary’s past. This is not the history you learned in school—this history was meant to stay hidden.

Start the evening off with a drink and hors-d’oeuvres at The Confluence, then join us for a 90-minute tour through the East Village featuring a stop at the King Eddy Hotel with a specialty cocktail. Additional drink tickets are available for purchase at The Confluence only. Alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages available.
