The 25th annual Mayor’s Back to School Fair
Mayor Eric Johnson announced Monday that the 25th annual Dallas Mayor’s Back to School Fair will take place Aug. 6 at Fair Park. The drive-thru portion of the fair will be open between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. Walk-ups will be available from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.
Families must register online at https://www.mayorsbacktoschoolfair.com to receive school supplies. The registration deadline is July 30. All families must meet 2021 Federal Poverty Guidelines to receive assistance.
“I know that many parents in our city have depended on this program during my predecessors’ tenures and since I’ve been the mayor,” Johnson said. “Having children is a blessing, but it’s also a challenge – and yes, having kids can be very expensive. Opportunities such as this fair can make a major difference when you’re just trying to put food on the table.”
