Back to School Celebration 2025!
August 9, 2025 @ 9:00 am - 1:00 pm

The annual Back to School Celebration at the Huss Project is back for another year! School-aged children accompanied by an adult caregiver receive a free backpack full of school supplies. Local organizations (see below) will be on hand to share about helpful services and offer kid-friendly activities. Let’s celebrate learning together!
Back to School is happening during the Huss Project Farmer’s Market and August Second Saturday Art Market, so there will also be live music, art vendors, and our usual delicious food vendors. Make a day of it!
