Miami International Mall is celebrating the start of the school year with great promotions. Shoppers will enjoy super savings on the latest must-have fashions during tax-free weekend and will enjoy additional deals from many mall retailers during the Clearance Sidewalk Sale.

Families can also enjoy activities that are sure to get kids excited to pack their backpacks and head to class with the “Green is Cool for School” event. The free event will feature balloon art, giveaways, face painting and etiquette tips from Alicia Faccio.

4-H, Miami-Dade’s University of Florida extension, will also be on hand with interactive presentations for the whole family on nutrition, food safety, marine critters, turtles and water conservation.
