Back to School Blast is coming 7/25!

Tampa Bay Moms Group’s Annual Event  

Back to School Blast

presented by Bright Horizons

 in partnership and support of TBMG Cares, Inc.!

The Tampa Bay Moms Group’s annual Back to School Blast is back and at a brand new location. 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. 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.  

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.

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. 

The event also features many complimentary craft stations, activities,  inflatable obstacle course, bounce houses, games, and entertainment on our main stage all day! 

This year’s Presenting Sponsor, Bright Horizons is the ideal partner embodying the spirit of the event and the celebratory atmosphere we are bringing to the venue. Their commitment to our community and the children within it and a focus on the success early education and ongoing support offers is what this event is all about. 

With thousands of school supplies reaching thousands of and thousands of smiles all in one place we hope you can share our event and join us as we blast back to school and help prepare families for a school year that will be out of this world!

We look forward to a fantastic event and appreciate any support in sharing and helping make the event a success for all!
