Downtown Detroit Partnership Presents: Campus Kids Day Back-to-School Bash Supporting Detroit’s Families

On August 18th, Detroit’s Campus Martius Park will transform into a hub of community support and preparation as families from across the city gather for the Campus Kids Day’s Back to School Bash, presented by Corewell Health. This event, running from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., offers more than just a day of entertainment—it’s a vital opportunity for families to gear up for the upcoming school year with the resources and support they need. As the new school year approaches, many families find themselves balancing the excitement of a fresh start with the challenges of preparing their children for success. The costs of school supplies, coupled with the ongoing demands of everyday life, can be overwhelming for some. Recognizing this, the Back to School Bash is stepping in to provide a tangible helping hand.
