Dark History of East Village Tour

Step into the shadows of one of Calgary’s oldest 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, backroom deals and riots once shaped the streets. As we explore hidden corners, you’ll hear tales of vice, scandal and conflict 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.
