Abby’s Closet 2026 Prom Dress Giveaway Event

Looking for a Prom dress? You’re in luck!

Each spring, Abby’s Closet invites high school students to a 2-day Prom Dress Giveaway where you can choose a dress that fits your unique style—completely FREE of charge.

With more than 5,000 dresses to choose from, we have vintage and brand new, short and long, and sizes 0-20+. Abby’s Closet believes all high school students should be able to attend Prom without worrying about the cost. We welcome people of different gender identities, abilities, sizes, and socioeconomic status. The goal of Abby’s Closet is to make every participant feel special, beautiful, and confident.

This year we are doing something new and switching things up by moving to a Friday afternoon/evening and all day Saturday. This means no Sunday shopping, but we hope this change provides a better opportunity for more to join in the fun!

NOTE: The check-in times is when to come and we’ll do a quick Student ID check, but then you will still need to wait before you are let in to the shopping area. Plan on the additional wait being about 30 minutes to an hour after you check-in. We will try to get you in as quickly as possible, but we also have to do additional crowd control based on how fast other students are finding dresses.

• 2:00PM – First checkin
