The Tampa Bay Moms Group’s annual Back to School Blast is back and at a brand new location and Kids Market is excited to be involved this year! This year the event is being held at The Shops at Wiregrass located at 28211 Paseo Drive, Wesley Chapel, FL 33543 and will be on Saturday July 25th, 2026.
Free Family Fun at The Shops at Wiregrass
The event will run from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm. The event offers guests free admission where they can stroll Paseo Drive, at one of Tampa Bay’s premier shopping destinations, and visit sponsors, exhibitors, vendors, Touch-A-Trucks and more collecting school supplies as they go.
School Supply Scavenger Hunt
The kids who visit Tampa Bay Moms Group’s booth near Center Court and pick up a School Supply Scavenger Hunt will be able to enjoy a special activity where they will receive a full size backpack and supplies to fill it (while supplies last). Additional Scavenger Hunt Backpacks filled with supplies are also being provided to children in Title 1 Districts and those currently in the Pasco and Hillsborough County Foster Care system. In addition to the backpacks and school supplies, these scholarship recipients will be eligible for additional support and resources such as scholarships to camps as well as tickets and prizes just for them! All school supplies in this special activity are unbranded so kids can be proud to wear and use the items in school.
Touch-a-Truck + Sensory Friendly Start
The event will feature Touch-a-Truck interactive areas allowing kids to get hands on with some amazing vehicles. From 10am-10:30 we will do a sensory sensitive start allowing guests who prefer a less stimulating environment to enjoy this feature without horns, lights or sirens. This Autism and Sensory friendly feature provides an even more inclusive experience for the community. There will also be sensory sensitive areas and sensory stimulating activities throughout the event.
Crafts, Games + Entertainment
The event also features many complimentary craft stations, activities, inflatable obstacle course, bounce houses, games, and entertainment on our main stage all day!
