Parents, guardians and students have one more chance today to shop for school essentials at the Joy FM Back-to-School Discount Fair, as the two-day event enters its final day at the Joy FM Car Park in Kokomlemle, Accra.
The fair, which opened on Friday, has brought together a wide range of vendors offering books, stationery, school bags, shoes, clothing, electronics, sanitary products, groceries and other essentials ahead of the 2026/2027 academic year.
With the event closing at 8:00 pm today, Saturday, September 5, shoppers are being encouraged to make their way to the venue early to explore the available products and take advantage of the discounts and special offers on display.
For parents who attended on Friday, the fair has provided a convenient way to complete several back-to-school purchases in one place.
One parent who visited the fair with his children said he decided to come after hearing about the event on Joy FM.
He said he has several children returning to school, including those at the basic and secondary levels, and wanted them to see the products available at the fair.
“So basically, I heard from the news when I was listening to Joy FM that we are going to have a back-to-school fair here. I have a number of children that are going to school this September, some secondary and then some also basic, and so I brought them here to come and look at what is on exhibition,” he said.
He said the experience had already proved worthwhile, as he had purchased books, shoes and school bags for his children.
“So far, I’ve been able to get some items for them, books, some shoes, bags, and so far it’s been good,” he said.
The parent also praised the prices, saying they were competitive compared with what he had seen elsewhere.
“I think the prices also are good compared to what we see at other places. So, I encourage other people, if they have the time, they can pass by and then look at what they have here. The prices are competitive,” he said.
He urged other parents and guardians to take advantage of the final day.
“They should quickly rush to this place and come for some of the items here because the prices are better than what we see elsewhere. So they should all come and then look at what is here,” he said.
