Join us for a circus-themed celebration to remember, celebrating the tenth anniversary of the iconic LGBTQ+ Youth Prom, the largest affirming prom in Southwestern Pennsylvania. Whether you show up as a circus clown, a tattooed lady, or in traditional prom attire, this inclusive party is a place for every young person to create treasured memories. Entry to prom includes dinner, dancing, art activities, and much more. Prom is open to all youth ages 13–18 regardless of how they identify.

Teens who attend one of our remaining LGBTQ+ Youth Prom Planning Meetings will receive two reserved tickets.
