Join us on October 20th and build your village!

Being a parent isn’t easy…it’s scary, exciting, overwhelming, and crazy all at once! As the saying goes, “it takes a village to raise a child,” and that’s exactly what we’re bringing to you - An Expo for Parents. Parents-to-be, new parents, parents of tweens, and even grandparents! All are welcome:)

What’s in it for visitors?

We understand how hard it can be to find all the people and things needed to support you through every stage of parenting. That’s why we’ve created a one-stop shop where you can find everything you need in one place. Whether you’re gearing up for parenthood, experiencing life with a newborn, navigating the toddler years, managing the chaos of tweens and teens, or preparing them for adulthood, we have you covered. Think resources, expert advice, wellness and more, all under one roof! Come build your village! You can even have a professional family photo taken on site with a beautiful Fall background:)

Our Expo will feature a marketplace that showcases a wide variety of top brands and resources, local businesses and handmade products, tailored to support you throughout your parenthood journey.

In addition, we’ll have some added fun features for kids to avail of, including free music sessions, a bouncy with ball pit, and so much more!

Admission is free and this is an all ages, family friendly event.
