About the application

Browse through our application and let us know if you have any questions.   Overview of Event Hosted on Saturday, August 8th from 10:00-2:00 pm inside the Westshore Plaza mall, the Back 2 School Bash is a free community event to celebrate the start of the school year and excite area youth’s senses and creativity through fun and play. The Bash offers entertainment and fun interactive, educational displays. Local businesses are on hand to share back to school related resources and services focusing on health & wellness, childcare, safety, afterschool & year-round programs, tutoring, special needs and other important topics. Over 2,500 Tampa Bay families will be in attendance. Free backpacks for the first 500 kids and free fun including a family photo booth with photo magnet keepsake to take home, face painting, meet & greets, craft stations, balloon animals, youth group performances and more. The event is an outstanding opportunity for sponsor branding, marketing, cross-promotion, product or service showcase and a vehicle for positive community influence. Our mission is to provide a way for local businesses to promote themselves and what they do to their local community. We connect businesses with consumers in their target markets. Advertising, Publicity & Promotion The Back 2 School Bash is heavily promoted using a combination of radio, print, digital and social media advertising. Westshore Plaza will also be promoting the event via mall wide ads. What Makes Our Events Different? We are different because we do not charge for the many fun activities onsite! A lot of family and kid-friendly events charge $10 or more in admission, and even more for activities. We want our attendees to focus on our sponsors and vendors.
