About this Event
TICKETS AT
Join us for The Speakeasy, a high-energy, spirited fundraiser for the Detroit Historical Society and the official afterparty for the 2026 Society Ball. The centerpiece of the night is the music: Rhythm Society Orchestra, a 15-piece big band powerhouse that will turn the Guardian Building Promenade into a true Jazz Age dance hall. Pair that with Charleston & East Coast Swing lessons (beginner-friendly and genuinely fun), and you’ve got the kind of night where you don’t just watch the party—you’re in it.
Your ticket includes:
- Live big band with Rhythm Society Orchestra
- Charleston & East Coast Swing lessons
- Open bar
- Detroit City Distillery tastings
- Espresso martini bar
- Detroit inspired late-night bites & coneys
- Silent auction access
- A takeaway gift to send you home with a little piece of the night
- Complimentary valet
Attire: Jazz Age, Art Deco, or vintage-inspired looks. But most importantly, WEAR SOMETHING YOU CAN DANCE IN!
