Here’s how the district describes it:
This year’s theme, “Promi-Con,” is Pennsbury’s playful spin on Comic-Con, highlighting popular culture, movies, and television shows with dedicated fandoms. The hand-crafted decorations feature impressive 3-D imagery, including an animatronic Ice Dragon from the blockbuster HBO show Game of Thrones. Decorations in other portions of the building will pay homage to reality television, Harry Potter, Dr. Who, Dr. Seuss, Warner Brothers, Nickelodeon, and more. Pennsbury is also adding a Quiet Room to the prom this year to give attendees a peaceful place to relax and take a break from all of the excitement. Additionally, there will be a wall dedicated to Mr. Jim Cunningham, aka “Mr. Prom.” Cunningham taught at Pennsbury High School for 33 years and is credited with creating the school’s senior prom in 1971.
The public festivities for “Promi-Con” 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.

Each year, Pennsbury High School opens its doors to the public from noon until 3 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.
Starting at around 5:15 p.m., the prom arrival parade will begin on the access road at the campus.

From the school district:
The access road that connects PHS West to PHS East on the high school campus in Fairless Hills serves as the perfect parade route for the country’s most unusual and creative forms of prom transportation. The closest intersections are Olds Blvd South & Queen Anne Drive (Fairless Hills) or Hood Boulevard & New Falls Road (Fairless Hills). Spectators line the access road on campus and cheer the prom-goers as they approach the red carpet at the entrance to PHS East. What have the students been planning all year? You never know until you witness their creativity first-hand!
The prom is expected to kick off around 7:30 p.m. and end at 12:30 a.m. Sunday.
