The countdown is on for the 2026-2027 school year, and Columbus City Schools is excited to announce the Back-to-School Fair on August 15, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the Fort Hayes Metropolitan Education Center, 546 Jack Gibbs Blvd.
It's our largest community event of the year, and we want you to be part of it!
Last year, we welcomed over 16,000 attendees and provided 11,000+ backpacks filled with essential supplies to students across the District. This year, we’re aiming even higher—and your support can make the difference.
We invite you to become a sponsor! Your organization will gain amazing visibility while directly impacting the success of our students. Explore various sponsorship packages to see how you can shine at this exciting event.
August 1, 2026, is the last day to become a sponsor.
