This year marks the 100th anniversary of nationwide Prohibition, and to commemorate the start of Prohibition and the Roaring ’20s, the High Desert Museum is hosting a Prohibition Party on Friday, January 17. Which basically turns the Museum into a speakeasy for the night. This just looks like fun:

The roaring ‘20s are back! And it’s time to celebrate the 100-year anniversary of Prohibition in the High Desert. Join us for live music, Charleston lessons by Bend Lindy Hop, signature cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, a ritzy costume contest (come dressed in 1920s attire), photo booth and far-out trivia to make your head spin! This joint will be the cat’s meow! This event is for ages 21 and older.

The party runs from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m., with doors opening at 5:30.

The specialty cocktails will be from Oregon Spirit Distillers, and there will be a no-host bar. Tickets are available online here and cost $15.

And a shameless plug: you can read about Prohibition in Bend in my book Bend Beer: A History of Brewing in Central Oregon.
