Riverfront Park’s art piece, the Stepwell, to be transformed into speakeasy as part of Expo ‘74 celebration

Riverfront Park’s newest art piece, the Stepwell, will be transformed from May 3-19 into a speakeasy … from 1974.

In celebration of the 50th anniversary of Expo, Club ’74 Speakeasy is offering an outdoors, 1970s-style venue at the Stepwell. The event is set to feature live DJs, lights, videos, dancing, local beer, wine and specialty cocktails and mocktails.

The speakeasy opens at 6 p.m. and runs until 11 p.m. Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays through May 19. May 3-18 is for ages 21 and older, while May 19 is an all-ages event.

Admission is $10, and food and beverages are available for purchase. Happy hour specials run from 6 to 7 p.m.

DJ rosethrow will drop beats on May 3, 5 and 17; DJ AI takes over May 4; DJ Moon Wild performs May 10 and 12; DJ Unifest plays May 11 and 19; and DJ Donuts takes the stage May 18.

A limited number of tickets will be available on-site on a first-come first-served basis. To guarantee a reservation, it is strongly recommended to purchase tickets online in advance at spokanecity.wufoo.com/forms/club-74-speakeasy-reservation.

All proceeds will benefit the Spokane Parks Foundation and Riverfront Park.
