Rainbow Prom is a place where local LGBTQ+ youth (ages 13-19) can show up as their authentic selves and celebrate their relationships and self-expression in an affirming space. The event takes place at the historic Pagoda in downtown Norfolk with some of the most beautiful photo opps near the Elizabeth River.
Come dance the night away with your besties, partners, and/or chosen family! Or come solo and meet some new friends! In addition to having DJ Nakeylla spinning the best teen dance beats, we will have delicious finger foods catered by the venue and several contests with awesome prizes!
General admission is $20 per person, which you can purchase through this page. Capacity is limited, so don’t wait too long to get your ticket! You won’t want to miss this event!!
Unable to afford the ticket price? In need of an outfit that matches your own inner fabulosity? In need of some tailoring for an existing outfit? We understand that these costs can be barriers for some youth to participate in prom, so fear not! Please email pflaghr@gmail.com to be considered for free tickets, outfits, and tailoring. We cannot guarantee that we can help everyone, but we will try our hardest!
This event is being organized by PFLAG Hampton Roads, the LGBT Life Center, and local high school GSAs (Gender & Sexuality Alliances; Gay/Straight Alliances). It is also graciously being sponsored by Capital Group and Stonewall Sports Norfolk.
