Central West End Cocktail Party

On Saturday, June 8 the CWE Cocktail Party returns!

This event will take place on Euclid Ave. between Maryland and McPherson, from 5-10 p.m. Parking is available throughout the neighborhood including on street parking, the Argyle Garage (225 N. Euclid Ave.) and self-pay surface lot on Euclid north of McPherson.

The CWE is home to what many have claimed as the first cocktail party on record — held in 1917 by Mrs. Julius S. Walsh Jr. in her home at 4510 Lindell Boulevard. Each year, the CWE pays tribute to this very important anniversary and celebrates the neighborhood history in style!

There will be aerial performances, fire dancers, unicyclists, dancing, cotton candy and more throughout the event all evening!

The event will also feature music by Marquis Knox, Grooveliner, Sarah Jane and the Blue Notes and Monkh.
