2026 Cooperstown Project Prom: Friday, May 29, 2026 from 10pm-4am

History of Cooperstown's Project Prom

In June 1984, a Cooperstown Central School senior was killed after the prom in an alcohol-related car crash. Every year since, a group of parents and community members have volunteered to create Project Prom, a fun, safe, and drug and alcohol-free evening for Cooperstown students to enjoy immediately following the prom. The event is held at the Clark Sports Center and provides entertainment, food, activities and prizes that run through the following morning. Project Prom is a powerful show of our community's commitment to our young adults.
