Delano’s 5th Annual Back-to-School Bash | Bakersfield News

Delano’s free back-to-school open house returns for its fifth year this Sunday, offering families free backpacks for kids ages 5–18 at 260 West Eleventh Avenue from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. — while supplies last and kids must be present. Organized by the Delano Recreation Department and Kern County Child Support Services, this community-driven event began in 2020 as a pandemic-era drive-through and has since grown into a beloved tradition, with families lining up each year for no-questions-asked support. Mayor highlights the joy of seeing kids arrive with new backpacks — proof that together, the city is making a real difference.
