fall formal

Seasonal school gala

A fall formal is a semiformal dance or social event held by schools, universities, or organizations during the autumn semester.

Unlike prom, which caps the school year, fall formals occur earlier and typically carry less ceremonial weight: Are you going to the fall formal?
