Event site map
Backpacks & Boos takes place in the rear parking lot behind the plaza at 1622 N. Perry, Pontiac, MI 48340 — the outlined area on the map below. Enter from N. Perry and event staff will direct you to your space.
Outlined area: the event and vendor lot behind the plaza. Final space assignments come from the event team by email — this map shows the general layout only.
Trunk-or-treat row
Decorated vehicles line the marked parking rows in the rear lot, facing the center aisle so families walk one loop.
Vendor & organization row
Vendors and community organizations set up along the north edge of the event lot, closest to the buildings.
Check-in & backpacks
Check in at the table at the top of the event lot, by the rear entrance of Maicol's Technology Services. Backpacks and school supplies are handed out nearby.
Family parking
Families and visitors park in the front lot off N. Perry. Please leave those spaces open for guests.
Backpacks & Boos is a free community event. Attendance, backpacks, school supplies and every giveaway are open to everyone and are never conditioned on supporting, voting for, donating to or volunteering for a political candidate.
