Overview of Event
Hosted on Saturday, September 28, 2024 from 10:00-3:00 pm inside the WestShore Plaza Mall in Tampa, the 4th Annual Kids Expo celebrates children offering entertainment and fun interactive, educational displays. Local businesses are on hand to share their products and services focusing on health & wellness, education, safety, afterschool & year-round programs, special needs and other important family-related topics. This event covers pre-k to middle school. 
 
The Kids Expo was initiated to further family involvement throughout the community and to excite our area youth’s senses and creativity through hands-on activities. The event is an outstanding opportunity for sponsor branding, marketing, cross-promotion, product or service showcase and a powerful vehicle for positive community influence as 1,500-2,000 families attend each year! 

Advertising, Publicity & Promotion 
The Tampa Bay Kids Expo is heavily promoted using a combination of radio, print, digital and social media advertising. WestShore Plaza will also be promoting the event via mall wide advertisements & posters. 
 
What Makes Our Events Different?
We are different because we do not charge for the many fun activities onsite! A lot of family and kid-friendly events charge $10 or more in admission, and even more for activities. We want our attendees to focus on our sponsors and vendors.
