Thank you for your interest in the Historic Jewish Atlanta Tour - Vice City. Due to the ongoing pandemic, the tour is unfortunately canceled and slated to be rescheduled at a later date. All registered participants will be receiving a full refund for the event.

Explore into historic Jewish Atlanta with exclusive tours of some of the city's most significant sites! The unabashed are invited to join us for a deep dive into Atlanta's notorious red-light district; the combustible push-and-pull behind prohibition and race relations; and the dare-devil "trippers" who quenched Atlanta's insatiable thirst by smuggling moonshine in souped-up Fords from the north Georgia mountains and laid the groundwork for NASCAR.
