Dust off your best look. We're throwing the party of the year at Stanford.
About this Event

The Stanford Graduate Student Formal is back, and this year we're doing it right. Live band, great drinks, incredible food, and 1,200 people cutting loose together. The Golden Era is our love letter to the era when parties were an art form. Think Studio 54 glamour meets a modern supper club. We're talking mirror balls, warm amber lighting, a live band that will make you want to dance, and late-night bites.
✦✦✦Tickets are free this year and will go fast! Fully covered by your activities fee. ✦✦✦
What to expect:
✦ A high-energy live band playing everything from Bruno Mars and Beyoncé to classic soul and funk
✦ A hosted bar (yes, included)
✦ Upscale late-night food (sliders, tacos, truffle fries, desserts)
✦ A dance floor that will be packed from 8pm to close
✦ The Frances C. Arrillaga Alumni Center looking better than you've ever seen it
Dress code: The Golden Era Gold, black, sequins, velvet, a sharp suit, show us your best.
FAQs:
