COSTA MESA, Calif., March 10, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Night of Lights OC, a wildly popular winter wonderland drive-thru experience and First Class Events, a leading Southern California prom and event planning company that has produced more than 2,000 high school events, is thrilled to announce "Prom on Wheels." The outdoor, one-mile immersive drive-thru prom celebration is open to high schools in all of Southern California. This one-of-kind event will take place at the OC Fair & Event Center in Costa Mesa during select nights from mid-April through June.
Prom on Wheels offers students a unique and fun alternative to the traditional prom experience that will deliver memories for a lifetime. The immersive in-car experience is filled with epic audio and visual displays, live performances and entertainment, while being in compliance with all county, state and health department guidelines.
"We are so excited to offer an incredible experience for high school students to enjoy their prom this year. As we all know, last year there was no prom and we wanted to make sure that didn't happen again by offering a unique, safe and fun alternative!" said Hollie Keeton, president of First Class Events. "This multi-million-dollar production is sure to give kids a true prom experience that touches on all the key elements of a traditional prom plus something very unique that they will remember forever."
The one-mile drive-thru Prom on Wheels experience includes:
- A glowing "Red Carpet" Tunnel arrival to start the celebration, evoking the traditional walk down the red carpet
- Several imaginative zones featuring life size props, stages and special effects
- A DJ pumping music through a select FM channel in each car, coordinated to festival-like scenes with pulsing lights, video screens, lasers, and fog that immerse students in the experience
- Light tunnels animated to the music
- LED monitors featuring custom logos and graphics throughout the route, allowing each school to create its own unique experience for their students
- Presentation of the Prom Court and Crowning of the King and Queen
- A trip down the disco ball tunnel to simulate the last dance
- The coveted prom photo to wrap up the experience
"This event is a perfect opportunity to celebrate all the struggles this senior class has had to weather over this past year, and we are so elated that we get to do this," said Dylan Bernstein, Spring ASB President at Long Beach Wilson High School. "To have the opportunity itself to participate in a drive-thru event that is so well planned and safe, is a testament to all the pivoting and thinking differently our class has had to do!"
"The concept of Prom on Wheels is absolutely fantastic," said Melanie Kermode, parent at Newport Harbor High School. "For a full year now, there has been very little for our kids to look forward to. I am beyond grateful to have this opportunity for my son to actually get a prom, one that is safe, exciting and looks like so much fun!"
"We know that Prom on Wheels is going to create and deliver a sensory experience like no other for our students," said Cynthia L. Lee, Activities Director at Norco High School. "There will be so many opportunities to create and share memorable moments during this colorful, exciting evening specially designed for our students. This is a once in a lifetime high school prom experience!"
