300+ attendees in 2010

16 years and finally, the return

picture it

A night with a storyline.

Arrive overdressed. Understated is not invited. Flashbulbs before you even find the bar.

Music that feels like memory and momentum at the same time. Rooms that pull you in instead of pushing you around.

Names you recognize. People you don't. Both matter.

Midway through the night, everything shifts. Nominations turn into winners. Winners turn into legends for the night.

And yes, it gets a little chaotic in the best way.

You will leave with photos. You will leave with stories. You will leave with proof you were there.

roll the 2010 tape

so… what is this?

Not a throwback.
A rewrite.

This isn't about reliving high school. It's about reclaiming it.

The people in this room didn't peak at prom. They built lives, brands, identities … online.

Now we bring it into the real world. One night where the avatars become human again.

You walk in as whoever you've been behind the screen. You walk out remembered.

No cliques. No wallflowers. No sidelines. Just presence.

this is where it gets interesting

Nominated online.
Crowned in the room.

Every Social Media Prom crowns a court. Not based on popularity. Based on presence. King. Queen. Court jester. Prom fairy. And a few titles that shouldn't exist, but do.

for the people, by the people

nominate a prom court.

A prom without a court is just a well-dressed gathering with no plot twist.

The crowd votes ahead of time.
The winners are announced the night of.

King. Queen.
Court Jester. Prom Fairy.
Plus “Most Likely To…” titles that feel suspiciously accurate.

Not about followers.
About presence.
That unteachable thing you either bring or you don’t.

Nominees must be San Francisco–based or planning to attend.
All those nominated must be present to win.

Internet fame fades. This is your analog moment.

things you might want to know.

Some of them we have answers to. Some of them are still being decided. Either way, here's where we stand today.

What is Social Media Prom?

A prom for people who built their lives online and want one night to live it out loud. A dressed-up, dialed-in celebration of nostalgia, community, and the people who still show up for each other. Originally held in San Francisco in 2010 and 2011, returning for its first new edition in 2026.

When is it?

Sometime in 2026, in San Francisco. Exact date announced closer to the night. Get on the list and you'll know first.

Where is it?

Somewhere in the city that doesn't usually host a prom. Venue revealed with the date. Walkable from BART, rideshare zone on-site.

Who is it for?

Creators, influencers, brands, and the people who built the internet culture we all live in. If you peaked in a decade you didn't live through, you're home.

Is this event 21+?

Yes. Please leave the kiddos at home. IDs will be checked at the door.

What's the dress code?

Nostalgia, reimagined. Dress for the prom you wish you'd gone to. Archive gowns, borrowed tuxes, something theatrical, something personal. If you have to ask "is this too much?" the answer is no.

How do I get tickets?

Tickets drop to the list first. Sign up here and you'll be the first to know when they release.

Can I bring a date?

Please do. Plus-ones get the same dress code. Promposals in the DMs are encouraged.

Can I nominate someone for prom court?

Yes. See the nominations section below. Nominations open closer to the night.

How do brands get involved?

We love a good partnership. Head to partner with us below, or email treasurehunter@sanfranciscovintage.com.
