Mind Body Baby NC Presents: 2026 Nurturing Parenthood

A free family celebration with play, trusted resources, and connection for expecting and parenting families—and their village.
About this Event

Join us for the 9th Annual Nurturing Parenthood Event—a free, family-centered celebration created for expecting parents, new parents, seasoned parents, caregivers, and the village that supports them.

Spend the day connecting with trusted local resources, discovering family-centered services, enjoying hands-on activities for children, and making sweet memories together. Families can look forward to face painting, sensory play, music and movement, family wellness activities, a feeding and diaper suite, and so much more.

Fatherhood takes center stage, too. We are excited to offer special experiences just for dads, including Daddy Duel and a Men’s Corner Chat—a welcoming space for fathers to connect, share, and celebrate the journey of parenting.

Come as you are, bring your people, and find more of your village at Nurturing Parenthood.
