Characterized as an “anti-prom,” the Q-Prom does not enforce a dress code, allowing attendees to express themselves freely. Participants are encouraged to wear outfits inspired by their favorite queer icons or fashion eras spanning from the 1880s to the 1980s. This inclusive approach aims to create a joyous and safe environment for LGBTQIA+ individuals and their allies.
Tickets for the event are available for $37 if purchased early, while door tickets will cost $40. To ensure accessibility, ShrevePride has also implemented a scholarship ticket program for those who may face financial barriers. Attendees must be at least 16 years of age, and identification checks will be conducted for bar access during the event.
The evening will feature an array of entertainment, including live music from local band Backseat Heroes, DJ Static Shock spinning tracks, and performances by various drag artists. This programming is intended to enhance community connections and provide a platform for expression and creativity.
The Q-Prom initiative has been a staple of ShrevePride since its inception in 2019, serving as a secure setting for individuals to celebrate their identities and remember the struggles endured by the LGBTQIA+ community. Nicole Ortiz, founder of ShrevePride, emphasized the importance of celebrating Pride, especially in the face of ongoing societal challenges that affect the community.
Additionally, Chris Lyon, a co-founder of ShrevePride, mentioned that the 2025 Q-Prom will include a new interactive component, which aims to engage attendees further in the festivities. This new feature promises to enrich the experience and foster a more dynamic connection among participants.
The event stands out not only as a party but also as a tribute to the ongoing journey toward acceptance and understanding within society. ShrevePride stresses the significance of solidarity and inclusivity throughout the LGBTQIA+ community, marking the Q-Prom as a vital event in showcasing these values.
With a spirited atmosphere and community-focused celebrations promised, the Shreveport Q-Prom 2025 aims to attract a diverse crowd eager to honor their identities while enjoying a night of music, camaraderie, and fun. As preparations continue, local organizers hope to build upon the success of previous years, reinforcing a welcoming environment that uplifts the voices and experiences of the LGBTQIA+ community.
As attendance grows for the event, the combination of entertainment, self-expression, and educational elements is expected to engage participants and foster a sense of belonging among friends and allies of the LGBTQIA+ movement.
