Introducing what’s hot: Before hitting the books, families can explore the latest clothing, accessory and toy trends from retailers at the mall-wide sidewalk sale. Attendees will also catch the hottest fashion fads during the freeze modeling demonstrations.

Sharing savvy ways to save: Event attendees will have the chance to win prizes and giveaways and tackle their back to school shopping lists with exclusive retailer coupons and the special “Shop for Swag” promotion. “Shop for Swag,” allows shoppers to bring in receipts totaling $100 or more to Crystal Mall’s management office and receive a swag bag full of goodies in return. Receipts must be dated between August 16, 2013 and August 18, 2013.  

“At Simon® malls, we know the back-to-school experience means more to families than simply purchasing must-have supplies,” said Ashley Keating. “We’re hosting our annual Back-to-School event to encourage parents and kids to connect with each other, enjoy a final moment of summer fun at their favorite Simon mall, and are ready to take on a new school year.”
