The Anti-Prom

What:

 A great event for local teens!  Anti-Prom is a high school age dance put on by local Arcata teenagers who found the proms instituted by their schools to be lacking in style and not serving the whole student population

Anti-Prom was created to fulfill many dance styles and musical taste from Jazz & Swing to Punk Rock and Electronica, provide quality good tasting party food (omnivore, vegan and vegetarian), showcase live entertainment and create a lively party through re-designed prom activities. Costumes are encouraged but not required. In short, it’s reinstating the high-class prom described by their parents and grandparents.

Being teenagers the Anti-Prom committee is on a miniscule budget. Café Nooner has advanced them the money for the venue and they have received donations for food from several local businesses, for which they are thankful, but are relying on ticket sales to cover the actual cash expenses. 

Pre-sale Tickets are $10.00 at  Ampt Skateshop in Arcata, and The Works and Café Nooner in Old Town, Eureka. When you buy your ticket, you get to request a band or song to add to the prom playlist.

The event takes place March 12th, 8pm to midnight at The Creamery in Arcata, 1251 9th Street, in the Redwood Raks World Dance Studio. This is an alcohol/drug free event.
