Prom Season in San Francisco / Bay Area — What You Need to Know
San Francisco / Bay Area proms typically run Mid Apr – Late May.
Bay Area prom is creative — Menlo-Atherton's doing 'Old Hollywood' at the Galleria, Berkeley's going 'Roaring 20's' at the Design Center. The Bay doesn't do cookie-cutter. Tuxedo Wearhouse in San Jose has been renting the same styles for 40 years. KCT Menswear ships you a prom suit that's actually on-trend — velvet, hunter green, slim-fit — styles that match the Bay's creative energy. Own it for less than a rental from The Black Tux at Valley Fair. Shipped free to any Bay Area zip.
