Get ready to kick off the new school year with our exciting Back to School Bash! Florida Penguin Productions brings an all-inclusive event with everything you need to prep your children for the new school year.

School Essentials:
Stock up on all the supplies you need to start the school year right! Parents can pre-register their children for a Free Backpack (while supplies last) and participate in our interactive scavenger hunt to stock up on school supplies from all of our sponsors and vendors. Backpack Registration will open 30 days before the event. RSVP here on Facebook by clicking Interested/Going and you will get notifications and reminders about the event next Summer.

Community Fun:
Connect with local businesses as we come together to celebrate the back-to-school season. With healthcare, after school programs, community support groups, fun activities, health insurance, martial arts, dancing, and sports programs. There are all sorts of resources to start the year off right. Plus stage performances from talent companies, free face painting, sports mascots & cartoon characters, photo stops, fitness activities, and so much more.
Don't miss out on the excitement with family-friendly entertainment and activities for all ages. Parents can enter raffles to win even more school supplies, gift cards for back to school purchases, and one lucky family could win 4 tickets to Florida Amusement Parks. Mark your calendars and join us for a fantastic Back to School Bash at the Bradenton Convention Center hosted by Florida Penguin Productions!
