The Back to School Festival is an annual event that celebrates the return of school for students, families, and educators in Pierce County. The event features Expanded Learning Provider booths, local performances, music, downtown Tacoma business participation, and backpacks and school supplies giveaway to children and youth at the event. As the Out-of-School Time Intermediary, Greentrike is committed to building a child and youth centered community and celebrating the return of another school year is one way we can help do that.
