A very special event, which aims to “transport” people back to the days of prohibition, is taking place in Steveston this weekend.
If you fancy enjoying a shot of beer with a splash of history, then get along to the Steveston Interurban Tram’s Prohibition special event on Friday, Nov. 3.
From 6 to 8 p.m., you can surround yourself with live jazz music while tasting a selection of beers from local Steveston brewery, the Britannia Brewing Company.
Discover the scandalous stories from B.C.’s prohibition years, as told by a storyteller from the Forbidden Vancouver Walking Tour Company, before exploring the nearly restored Tram Car 1220.
Nibble on light refreshments and socialize with others as you delve into the underbelly of local history, rich with rum-runners, bootleggers and gin joints.
This event, a first for the Interurban Tram, is specifically for those aged 19 and over and transports guests back to a time when prohibition attempted to dry out B.C. while illegal home breweries managed to keep Steveston — and beyond — wet.
Tickets are $25 for the evening’s activities. To register, call 604-276-4300 or visit Richmond.ca/register and quote registration #2352342.
