About this Event
✨ Teen Winter Formal 2026: A Winter Wonderland
A magical night. Meaningful connections. Memories that last. And best of all, it’s completely FREE!
Join us for our Second Annual Teen Winter Formal on Saturday, December 12, 2026, from 5:30–8:00 PM at St. Francis Children’s Center! Created especially for teens with special or support needs ages 13–19, this Winter Wonderland celebration is a chance to dress up (or not!), enjoy music, dance, connect with friends, and make unforgettable memories in a welcoming, inclusive environment.
Last year’s Winter Formal was so much more than a dance. It was an opportunity for teens to feel celebrated, for plus-ones to share in the excitement, and for parents and caregivers to capture special moments together on our red carpet. The connections made that evening helped inspire our ongoing monthly teen connection opportunities, creating even more ways for teens to build friendships and experience a sense of belonging throughout the year.
❄️ What to Expect
- Red Carpet Drop-Offs | 5:30–6:00 PM: Arrive in style and capture a special photo to remember the evening!
- Welcome | 6:00 PM: Hear a warm welcome from our Senior Programs Director.
- Gluten-Free Appetizers: Enjoy delicious bites as the celebration begins.
- Music, Dancing & Connection: Spend the evening celebrating, socializing, and making memories with friends.
💙 Every Teen Brings a Plus-One
Each teen is required to attend with a plus-one of any age — a friend, sibling, or family member who helps them feel comfortable, supported, and ready to enjoy the evening. We want every teen to have someone special by their side to share in the fun!
🎟️ Registration Information
