The festivities for “Yo Philly!” start at noon with a public walk-through of the amazing decorations. The district notes the walk-through will end promptly at 3 p.m.
From the school district:
Each year, Pennsbury High School opens its doors to the public from noon until 3:00 p.m. to allow the community to walk through the entire first floor of the building and enjoy the detailed prom decorations, from the two-story entry foyer to the student dining room, hallways, the gymnasium, even the boys’ and girls’ lavatories! Residents of all ages share in the excitement and are awestruck by what they see at every turn. Many alumni come back every year to enjoy the new theme.
Next, the much-anticipated 2017 Prom Arrival Parade begins on the access road that connects the West and East campus of the high school. The parade starts at 5:15 p.m. and goes until 7:30 p.m. The route is usually packed with thousands of people who have come out to see what the district calls the ”country’s most unusual and creative forms of prom transportation.” After riding their awe-inspiring floats to the prom entrance, the prom-goers will use the red carpet to enter the prom. This year there are rumors swirling that a huge potato will be among this year’s floats.
