Speakeasy Vintage Christmas Edition
-
- December 11, 2013
S.E.E.M presents the “Speakeasy Vintage Christmas Edition” this Dec. 13th. This event is special because it will be the very last time there will be a Speak Easy held at La Sala Rossa (4848 Boul. St Laurent). The brilliant minds behind all of the Speakeasy events you’ve attended and grown to love have decided to change venues! What with us nearing the beginning of a new year, it’s certainly an appropriate time for coming together in bittersweet unity to celebrate new beginnings, and fine spirits. Speakeasy Electroswing Montreal wants to make it a very memorable night for you. They are holding all future events at Cabaret Le Lion D’or from January 31st and onward. This Friday the thirteenth, you’re invite to join the fun and the madness as we commemorate 3 successful years of events at La Sala Rossa, and to the new endeavors that come with the new year. You can expect incredible costumes, music, and fun times. Quoted directly from the official page is the programming as follows:
