Prom 2026: Masqueerade
Join Time Out Youth for our 2026 Prom: Masqueerade! Join us for a fanciful evening of secret identities, dancing, and fun! We’ll be decorating and making masks at the Center in the days leading up to the event, so everyone will have the chance to participate and embrace the theme. Register today at THIS LINK.
This event is for all LGBTQ+ and allied youth ages 13 – 24. You do not have to have visited TOY before to attend. Masqueerade will be located at The Long Room in Plaza Midwood (1111 Central Ave STE 230) from 7PM – 10PM. Registration is $5 per person! If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us via phone 704-344-8335 or email at info@timeoutyouth.org.
We never want the cost of an event to be a barrier. Thanks to the support of a generous donor, free tickets are available for youth who need them. If the registration fee presents a financial concern, please send us an email, give us a call, or talk to us in person for a Discount Code.
We can’t wait to see you there! Register today HERE.
