Brands & Backyard Businesses
Exhibitors & Vendors
We curate the events to showcase organizations -- from brands and businesses to healthcare providers and non-profits -- that cater to new and soon-to-be parents (and have missions aligned with ours). On event day, guests can connect with brands, learn about local resources, shop, sign up for classes, enter giveaways, and more!
Educational Sessions
"How-To" Demonstrations
Hands-on learning is where it's at! These interactive sessions are designed to teach you valuable skills you can take home and put into practice, like baby wearing, picking the perfect breast pump, and child car seat safety. These demos can help you build confidence to handle life with a baby from day one.
Educational Sessions
Seminars & Workshops
There's a lot to learn! So, we partner with experts to provide classroom-style workshops and seminars on a wide range of topics related to pregnancy and parenting. Want real talk about writing a birth plan, the fourth trimester and postpartum recovery, and positive sleep habits? We've got you.
The Experience
Activities & Amenities
New and soon-to-be parents need some TLC to enjoy a busy event day. We get it! We offer creature comforts like a feeding lounge -- for peace, quiet, nursing, and pumping -- as well as a stroller check and a variety of other perks. Guests can also enjoy any number of activities! From babywearing test drives to photo booths to chair massages, every event is designed to make your experience fun and memorable.
Icing on the Cake
Giveaways & Giving Back
Thanks to our incredible brand partners, our guests receive welcome gifts, lavish gift bags, and entry into grand prize drawings. (Giveaways vary by ticket type.) It's important to us to give back in meaningful ways. Guests have a chance to win dozens of prizes generously donated by our sponsors, local business and brands in our raffle. We donate 100% of the proceeds from raffle ticket sales to a local mission-driven organization that serves families or babies.
Community & Connection
Babies & Bumps Groups
Connections are powerful. We’ll help you find a community of moms to share much-needed advice, support, and friendship. You’ll share your best stories, swap advice, and celebrate milestones together. Learn more about B&B groups and meet other new and soon-to-be moms so you can create your village and find your parenting groove!
This event puts you touch with professionals you didn’t even know you needed.

The health and wellness of our guests is of the utmost importance to us. In these unprecedented times, things may change at a moment’s notice. With the the rise of variants and not enough vaccinated people to reach herd immunity, we are requiring proof of vaccination or negative Covid-19 test result (antigen tests must be taken within 24 hours prior to arrival; PCR tests must be taken within 48 hours prior to arrival) and masks for all in attendance (regardless of vaccination status). There will be NO exceptions to these requirements. Other measures at the event will be taken, like more distance than usual between tables and seminar / demonstration seating, widely available hand sanitizer, and frequent sanitizing / janitorial services. Tickets are generally non-refundable. However, if you are unable to attend because you are experiencing Covid symptoms, you may qualify for a refund if you email us at hello@babies-and-bumps.com before the event begins AND email a doctor’s note or positive PCR test result within 72 hours of the event’s completion.
