You may be in denial, but summer is almost over. The kids have piles of outgrown, worn or out-of-style clothes that need to be replaced. Maybe their backpack is looking a little worse for wear too. Your youngest wants a fancy pen for her first day in elementary school. Your high schooler is already thinking about that homecoming dress. Not to worry, you can get it all and more at the Capital Mall! During the Capital Mall’s Back-To-School event on August 17, 2024, enjoy games and activities to make your school shopping fun.
Sponsored by South Puget Sound Community College, the Back-to-School event at Capital Mall takes place from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. in the Macy’s Court. Kids will have fun in the bounce house and all will enjoy temporary glitter tattoos and caricatures. The U.S. Army will be there with a fun physical challenge and recruitment information. Take a break from shopping to play a game, perhaps giant Jenga, Connect 4 or even hopscotch, all in the comfortably air-conditioned Mall.
