IKEA, at 9800 E. IKEA Way, Centennial, Colorado, is hosting several events as everyone — teachers and students — gets ready for Back-To-School 2026. These are FREE events just for IKEA Family members. Registration is required for each event and space is limited. Note: Events may reach full capacity for reservations. However, walk-ins are always welcome! Often, they have enough space to accommodate additional guests due to no-shows and the like.
