Prohibition had banned the production, sale, and transport of alcohol nationwide since 1920, aiming to curb alcohol consumption, but leading instead to a rise in illegal speakeasies, bootlegging, and organized crime. The repeal marked a significant shift in American law and society, restoring legal alcohol sales and signaling a move toward regulation rather than prohibition. So join them to celebrate Repeal Day and sip on specialty cocktails, enjoy whiskey tasting flights, groove to live music, and test your wits in Prohibition-era trivia. Dress to the nines in your best 1930s garb for a costume contest too!
