The prom must go on, and the Burlington High School Class of 2020 will soon be able to have its special night.
Burlington High School's spring prom was scrapped by school officials due to cancellations caused by the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. That being the case, the parents of this year's graduating senior class decided to organize the event.
The senior-only prom (which is not a school-sponsored event) is from 8 p.m. to 11 pm on Friday (July 24) at Memorial Auditorium in Burlington. Masks are optional but encouraged, and prom attire is not required.
Tickets go on sale Monday (July 13) and cost $10 per person. Tickets may be purchased from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. weekdays at the Memorial Auditorium box office.
To donate to offset the cost of the prom, contact Burlington Riverfront Entertainment at (319) 753-8111.
