It's definitely hard to miss all the people where I live pulling out of driveways in dresses and people taking pictures across all the public areas, it really lets you know it's prom time.

What's your experience with prom (or multiple proms if you went to others too)? How did everyone look? How was it celebrated? Was it good?

I graduated high school in Belgium, prom is a thing there but probably not as big as in the US.

It was a cool night, but retrospectively we put too much importance into it, similar events during university were more meaningful

Are there any differences in how it's celebrated there?

I'm not that well versed un American proms, so it's hard to compare. From the comments here, I would say it's less expensive and probably less peer pressure
