Back to School Fair

Get ready for an A+ day of fun at our Back-to-School Fair on Saturday, August 29, 2026, from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Families are invited to bring their kids (both two- and four-legged!) for a fun-filled afternoon celebrating the start of the school year. Strike a pose with professional back-to-school themed photos, then enjoy free school supply giveaways, swag bags, food trucks, local vendors, a bounce house for the kids, and craft activities for children, adults, and even your pets. Pets can also enjoy free nail trims courtesy of Zoomin Groomin. Be sure to stop by and meet the South Trail Fire District firefighters, explore their fire truck, and be among the first to purchase our first-ever Firefighters Calendar and have it autographed by the firefighters featured inside. The event will take place outside of our new Veterinary Clinic and is the perfect opportunity to enjoy a fun community event while supporting Gulf Coast Humane Society. Plus, don't miss our special adoption promotion at the shelter, where you just might meet your newest best friend. Every dollar raised helps us provide care, shelter, and second chances for animals in need throughout our community. Interested in becoming an exhibitor? Click here.
