After drop-off

At The Ridge

The parking lot is small. Parents may wait in their cars, though leaving after drop-off is preferred if it works for your family.

Returning home is another option if you live close enough.

Before you leave home

No date is required. Students may come on their own, as couples, or with groups of friends, including large groups. Every student must meet the dance's age and ticket rules.

  1. Save each QR-code ticket. Check-in scans the ticket for each student. No student is admitted without a ticket.
  2. Use the advertised start time. Entry to the event area begins at that exact time. Homecoming 2026 and Prom 2027 both start at 7:00pm.
  3. Drop-off options. Parents may drop students off, or students may drive themselves. Drop-off and pickup can happen during the event.
  4. Check the event's end time. Music stops at that exact time, and students begin leaving. Homecoming 2026 and Prom 2027 both end at 11:00pm.

Our dances are Christian and faith-based, with clean, radio-edit music, chaperones, and security. Students of any background are welcome within each event's age rules.

For Homecoming 2026, read the dress code and attendee policies before choosing an outfit.

For Prom 2027: Sunset Vibes, read the formal dress code before choosing an outfit.

Questions from Kernersville families

Yes. We host one prom and one homecoming each year for students across the Triad, including Kernersville. A dance may take place in another Triad city. Each student must meet that event's age and ticket rules.

Vintage Hollywood Prom was April 25, 2024, and Masquerade Homecoming was October 16, 2025. Both took place at the Paul J. Ciener Botanical Garden, 215 S Main St, Kernersville. They have passed; their dates, themes, and attendance rules do not apply to the next dance.

Can parents wait in their cars after dropping students off?

At The Ridge: The parking lot is small. Parents may wait in their cars, though leaving after drop-off is preferred if it works for your family. At Bryan Park: There is plenty of parking, and parents may wait in their cars during prom. Park in the lot opposite the center. Do not park under the canopy or in the circle driveway.
