This year’s Back to School Bash is August 9, 2025 from 10 am to 3 pm at Del Monte Center in Monterey. Parents will get to meet and chat with representatives of local businesses and organizations and learn about what they offer families. Plus, there will be free activities including face painting, arts & crafts, games, giveaways, and more. And, we’ll have another of Poptopia’s beautiful balloon backdrops for great back-to-school photos.

We are now taking reservations for booth spaces and for sponsorships. Those with advertising contracts of six or twelves months may take a discount of $50 on a regular booth, $75 on a premium booth. If you register before June 1, you may take a $25 discount (may combine discounts).
