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.

Tickets include a hot drink (tea or coffee) at The Confluence to take with you on this 90-minute, approx. 2km tour through the East Village.

Content Warning: This tour discusses topics of murder, death, sex work and other similar topics. Attendee discretion is advised.
