This year's festival features a main stage on the arena floor where student performances and academic showcases will take place. Free school supplies will be given away while supplies last and a free lunch will also be served.
Inside the arena SLPS officials will be on hand to assist with transportation, enrollment and other school-related questions and concerns. More than 50 vendors will be on hand to offer important school-related information for parents and students. Free parking is available in the SLU garage on Compton and Olive.
