Organizers will be giving out free school supplies and free haircuts at a Back-to-school festival today in Detroit.

It takes place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Greater Grace Temple, located at 23500 West Seven Mile Road.

One thousand free backpacks are expected to be given out today.

The festival is aimed at kids between 5 to 12 years old.
