One Night Only:

Friday, March 21, 2025 | 6:00–9:30 PM

Join celebrated historian and storyteller Bailey Sisoy-Moore for a one-night-only bus tour and cocktail/mocktail crawl in honor of National Rosie the Riveter Day!

As we travel through history, you’ll visit four unique locations, exploring the story of Rosie the Riveter—from the song that gave her name to the artwork that represented her, to the real women who defined her can-do spirit and life on the Detroit home front during WWII.

At each stop, you’ll have your choice of a custom-crafted cocktail or non-alcoholic mocktail, specially created by the establishment to celebrate Rosie’s legacy. These unique drinks will capture the spirit of the era, the Rosies, and the ingenuity of wartime America.

Dinner will be a WWII-inspired meal, featuring a hearty, meat-rationed soup and a “Victory Garden” salad.

What’s Included in Your Ticket:

Four exclusive Rosie-themed cocktails or mocktails (one at each stop)
A WWII-inspired dinner, featuring a ration-style soup & fresh salad
Luxury motorcoach transportation between historic sites
A lively and immersive history tour
All service gratuities and taxes

Dressing up is optional but always encouraged for added fun! Come dressed in your best 1940s-inspired attire— or as a Rosie! Whether it’s coveralls, polka dots, workwear, or vintage florals—and raise a glass to the unstoppable women of WWII who proved to the world that in Detroit, "We Can Do It!"
