St. Christopher's 15th Annual Back-To-School Carnival

  • 160 E. Erie Avenue Philadelphia, PA 19134 USA (map)

For the fifteenth year, we will celebrate summer with a carnival and backpack giveaway on Friday, August 8 from 11 am – 3 pm. The event will be held at the Parking Lot of St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children. There will be great food, fun games, free community resources for families, and free backpacks full of school supplies, while supplies last. Children must be present to receive backpacks. Since the carnival’s inception, the event has entertained nearly 15,000 children and their families and provided school supplies to thousands of children. The free event is hosted by St. Christopher’s Center for Children and Youth with Special Health Care Needs and Drexel University’s College of Medicine.
