Prom: Night in the City

Event Details

Step into the lights and energy of downtown Los Angeles for an unforgettable Night in the City at this year’s Prom. Held at the stunning City View Penthouse and SkyDeck at South Park Center, students will celebrate 30 floors above the city with breathtaking 360° views of the Los Angeles skyline through floor-to-ceiling windows and from the open-air SkyDeck. As the sun sets and the city lights begin to sparkle, the venue transforms into a truly magical setting high above the streets of LA.

The evening will include dancing, dinner, dessert, a candy bar, and a photo booth, along with the exciting tradition of announcing the Prom King and Queen. Surrounded by the vibrant skyline and the energy of the city below, students will enjoy a night of celebration, laughter, and memories that will last long after the music ends.
