The 30th Annual Dallas Mayor’s Back to School Fair brought thousands of families and students to Fair Park for free school supplies, health screenings, educational resources, career opportunities and so much more - with 183 vendor booths across Centennial Hall and the Automobile Building. From school supplies and health services to live performances, a pop-up talent show, UniverSoul Circus, Ballet Folklórico, sports and development experiences, the Fair gave Dallas families a day filled with resources and connection.

The celebration opened with remarks from Mayor Eric L. Johnson, Dallas ISD Superintendent Dr. Stephanie S. Elizalde, All Stars Project Senior Vice President Antoine Joyce-Roach, and Junior League of Dallas President Lauren Combest, followed by remarks from Adrian Maese of Walmart, Robert Kent of Communities Foundation of Texas, and Margie J. Reese of the African American Museum.

The Fair was powered by the All Stars Project and Junior League of Dallas, in partnership with the City of Dallas and Mayor Johnson, with the support of 58 sponsors, including Title Sponsors Walmart and Sam’s Club.

Thirty years. Thousands of young people. One city showing up for its future. Thank you to every partner, sponsor, volunteer and community member who made this possible!
