Discover how an island that was first to go dry—and stayed dry the longest—became a thriving smuggling hub. Led by a shrewd 19th-century merchant, this immersive walking tour pulls back the curtain on a town that publicly preached total abstinence while privately pioneering secret speakeasies, pharmacy loopholes, and neighbourhood bootleggers that kept the Island stubbornly wet.
Hear the hidden stories behind PEI’s prohibition era and finish your experience at Reddins—a real Island speakeasy—where they can relax with a beverage and a mini-charcuterie snack before departing.
Duration: approximately 2 hours
Age requirement: 19+
