Missoula Is Hosting an Adult Prom on Valentine’s Day

If you had the most disastrous, awkward, or simply nonexistent high school prom experience, congratulations. Missoula is offering you a second chance.

The Red and Black Affair Adult Prom is happening this Saturday, Feb. 14th, at the Hilton Garden Inn in Missoula from 6 p.m. to midnight. Which is just as it should be, because prom night is supposed to go late, and some of the adults can't stay out all night.

This Is Prom Night, but Less Traumatic

It is, in essence, prom for grown-ups who should know better but still want a reason to get dressed up and go out.

And the truth is, that’s most of us.

Maybe you missed prom entirely. Maybe your date was a turd. Maybe you went with your friends and spent the entire night avoiding slow dances like it was one big hostage situation. Or maybe you just want the perfect excuse to put on a dress, a suit, or whatever makes you feel unstoppable, and storm the town on Valentine’s Day.

This is that excuse.

Why This Is Actually an Awesome Valentine’s Day Idea

The problem with Valentine’s Day is that most of us just do the same tired routine. Dinner reservations, expensive drinks, and sitting in a restaurant full of couples pretending not to feel the pressure.

This is way better.

You get the dress-up fun, the party energy, the music, everything you want from a real night out, without having to fake being classy for most of it.

How to Get Tickets

Tickets are for sale through the Facebook event page or at Eventbrite.

So if you’ve always dreamed of a prom night do-over, but with the confidence that comes from being an adult who doesn’t have nearly as much acne anymore, this could be it.
