PINK PROM – KITSAP PRIDE

Pink Pony Prom is (Back) On! and FREE! | For Ages 14–20

Register early, this event is limited to 80 youth.

A few weeks ago, we made the heartbreaking decision to cancel the original Pink Prom, which was scheduled for May 24 at the Harborside. After months of planning and incredible collaboration with youth across Kitsap County, we had sold only one ticket with less than a week to go.

As hard as it was, we knew we couldn’t deliver the magical, joyful atmosphere this event deserves—and we take full responsibility for that.

As we have come to expect from our community, you showed up. Parents, youth, educators, and supporters reached out with passion, frustration, and love to remind us what we already knew: Pink Prom matters. Events like this offer something increasingly rare. Spaces where LGBTQIA+ youth can feel seen, safe, and celebrated.

With a solid plan already in place (thank you, youth planning committee), Kitsap Regional Library stepped in to offer a welcoming, affirming venue to bring Pink Prom to life after all. Thanks to generous support from our grant funders, this event is now completely free to attend.

School will be out and summer will be starting, so come kick it off in style with an evening of music, food, friends, dancing, and a lip sync battle, just for fun.

What is Pink Prom?

Presented by Kitsap Pride with the support of community partners like Kitsap Regional Library and other generous partners, Pink Prom is a celebration for LGBTQIA+ youth and allies ages 14–20. Come as your true self and dance with whoever brings you joy—friends, dates, groups, or solo. All genders, orientations, and relationships are welcome and celebrated.

Pink Prom is more than a dance. It’s about joy, connection, and being seen. It’s prom—but on your terms.

Theme

Pink Pony Prom: Together We Ride, inspired by the 2025 Kitsap Pride Festival theme, UNITE. It’s a call to come together in joy, strength, and celebration, riding side-by-side into summer with community and pride.

Prom Court Lip Sync Battle

A regular prom court won’t cut it here. Want to compete for the crown of Pink Pony Supreme? Bring your best 30–45 second lip sync performance. The top three finalists will face off in a final-round showdown for the title.
(Pro tip: have a backup song ready to avoid duplicates.)
