The 17th Annual Back to School Fair presented by Hillsborough County Public Schools is during the Back to School Sales Tax Holiday! This means you won’t have to pay sales tax on most of your school-related purchases! (Click here for more info on Sales Tax Holiday) What a great time to get your school shopping done!
Back to School Fair is taking over WestShore Plaza mall in Tampa, a giant air-conditioned indoor mall from 10am to 2pm on Saturday, August 3rd, and you won’t want to miss it!
