Enjoy live entertainment, a spirited cocktail competition and, of course, delicious food and drinks available for purchase from participating CWE bars and restaurants.

Join us on the streets of the Central West End as we celebrate the 100th anniversary of what many have claimed as the first cocktail party on record — held in 1917 by Clara Walsh in her father-in-law’s home at 4510 Lindell.
