Macaroni KID Fayetteville brings the 6th annual Northwest Arkansas Mom Prom to Hilton Garden Inn Fayetteville on Saturday, November 14. Despite the name, it’s for ALL women 21 and up, moms or not, and the organizers say the crowd runs from 21 to 75. The idea started in Canton, Michigan, back in 2006, and the formula is simple: put on a formal, grab your girls and dance for a good cause.

Dig That Gown Out of the Back of the Closet
The dress code is technically “wear whatever you want,” but the organizers are practically begging for old prom dresses, bridesmaid gowns and wedding dresses. Puffy-sleeved ’80s number? Break it out. Hot pink wig? In their words: WEAR IT! Nothing in the closet? Thrifting counts, and that sequined mystery from the back rack is ready for its second act.
Here’s what the night holds:
- DJ and dancing – a real prom, minus the curfew and the awkward slow dance
- Photo booth – proof your gown still fits (or proof it doesn’t)
- Snacks and appetizers – included with your ticket
- Wine and beer bar – available at an additional cost
- Hilarious surprises – the organizers say “trust us,” so we will

Raffle Baskets for Compassion House
The night benefits Compassion House of NWA, a local home for pregnant and parenting teens ages 11-17. A table of raffle baskets donated by local businesses adds to the pot, and all raffle money goes straight to Compassion House. Bring cash: tickets are $2 each or 10 for $20. Winners get announced starting at 9 p.m., so don’t Irish-exit before your basket gets called.

Refunds are available up to two days before the event.
See you there, NWA.
