Decade's Awesom 80s Prom

Decade's Awesome 80s Prom will be held Friday June 17th where we highly encourage 80s Prom attire so break out your baby blue tuxedoes, dye your satin shoes to match your prom gown and grab your can of Aqua Net so you can tease your hair and get those bangs high! We will crown a Prom King and Queen who look the most Awesome! Here's your chance to have the Awesome 80s Prom you always wanted or to relive your own Prom memories. And it's 21+ so there's no need to sneak in a flask, and there's NO cover charge. Make your Pretty in Pink fantasies come true at Decade's Awesome 80s Prom!

For Prom dresses, tuxedoes, or other  Formal Attire check out thrift stores, the Salvation Army store, or the Garment District in Cambridge MA. And if you want to ditch the tuxedo in favor of a style a little more like Duckie's, think cool sport coats (pastel colors too!) and skinny ties. Get fashion inspiration from 80s films and TV like  Pretty in Pink, Footloose, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Miami Vice, and Less Than Zero.
