South Shore Plaza invites families and shoppers to kick off the start of a new school year with a Back-to-School Celebration on Saturday, August 23 from 12:00pm to 2:00pm at Macy’s Center Court. The event will feature free, family-friendly entertainment including face painting, balloon twisting, and surprises children of all ages will enjoy. Check out fun activities and samples from participating retailers like Golf Lounge 18, Build-a-Bear, Gong Cha, Lush, Earthbound Trading, It’Sugar, and J. Jill.
Attendees will also have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact by participating in the Back-to-School Clothing Drive in partnership with Cradles to Crayons, a Boston-based nonprofit dedicated to providing essential items to children in need. Visit the yellow school bus display near the selfie wall by Macy’s, choose a tag, and then shop! You can return the donations to the location listed on your tag.
