LAKEVIEW — Dust off those rhinestone-studded heels: It's prom time. Just make sure they're not made of leather.
While high schoolers might be winding down their sanctioned springtime ritual, the grown-ups are just getting started with an adults-only Vegan Prom in Lakeview Saturday.
Lincoln Taproom, 3010 N. Lincoln Ave., will host night of dancing, drinking and an "I Love U '80s" theme that is a perfect excuse to give your puffed satin sleeves one last night of glory.
Dressing up isn't required, and neither is being a vegan or having a date. Proceeds from the third annual Vegan Prom benefit Chicago VeganMania, a free all-vegan food festival in Edgewater.
Want to dress up but have nothing to wear? Try thrift shops for a last-minute gem — organizers are encouraging guests to get festive in '80s wear, prom attire or "whatever makes you feel rad."
While a DJ jams to '80s music, prom-goers can enjoy finger foods, desserts, a photo booth, a raffle and a cash bar. Sponsors for the event include Pie, Pie My Darling, Alice & Friends' Vegan Kitchen and Follow Your Heart, so the night is sure to include some tasty treats.
Tickets are $20 at the door, and guests must be 21 years or older.
