Dallas Mayor's Back to School Fair

August 20 & 21

Mayor Eric Johnson is excited to host the 24th Annual Dallas Mayor’s Back to School Fair at Fair Park for students who live in Dallas and/or attend a Dallas ISD school (PreK-12). Families will need to meet eligibility requirements and pre-register online by August 17th. Upon registering, families will receive a confirmation number which will need to be given to volunteers at the event in order to receive the free school supplies. Register here: www.mayorsbacktoschoolfair.com

Due to COVID-19, this year will look much different and will take place at two separate distributions. If the family is unable to attend they can give their confirmation number to someone else to pick-up items on their behalf. Students are not required to be present at the event.
