PARTY | Speakeasy Ball
Don't cry because Prohibition is back; drink because it's happening. Archival organization Dance Collection Danse invites Torontonians to The Speakeasy Ball, where dames will be dolled up in their 1920s headbands, while gentlemen whip out the flasks to drink and dance at Cinecycle. Attendees will spend the evening in a dimly-lit den, listening to music of the Depression era to celebrate the launch of the DCD's new website and podcast. Cut a rug, check out archival photos from the '20s and '30s, drink and be merry at the Speakeasy.
Cinecycle (129 Spadina Avenue) 8:30PM $25
