2 Great Expos together on Saturday, Oct 1st!
NYC PTA Expo & Schoolfest
Saturday, October 1st, 12-4 PM
Brooklyn Expo Center, 72 Noble Street
This year, we are presenting 3rd Annual NYC PTA Expo and 9th Annual Schoolfest together. Exhibitors and attendees will be able to benefit from both events!
NYC PTA Expo is a fun and informative event with great products and information for all NYC PTAs and PAs. NYC has over 1800 schools serving more than 1 million students. With valuable workshops and exhibitors, NYC PTA offers an unsurpassed one-day opportunity for PTA & PA leaders and parents to learn about resources and network. Last year, PTA representatives from +150 schools from all 5 boroughs and even outside NYC attended NYC PTA Expo.
Schoolfest is a one-of-a-kind school fair for North Brooklyn families to meet local schools, early childhoold through high school, even colleges. All schools ~ public, private, charter, magnet, community, dual language, etc ~ are invited so that our neighborhood schools can share information and projects. Schoolfest also understands that parents can often be overwhelmed by school choices and admission processes. Schoolfest helps parents navigate through the confusion so that they can make the best choice for their child’s educational needs.
Saturday is shaping up to be an amazing day with invaluable workshops, fun showcase performances and +100 participating programs. Please visit
