FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Where is the Birth and Baby Fest?
The Birth and Baby Fest is held on the beautiful campus of Tucson Waldorf School, at 3605 E. River Rd. This is near the winding intersection where River Road meets Alvernon Way.
Is there parking?
Yes! There is plenty of convenient parking in two separate lots at the venue. Plus, there is street parking on Sutton Lane, which is just west of the venue.
Is there a cost to attend?
Attendance to the event - including the vendor fair, presentations, and activities - is absolutely free! You'll want spending money for purchasing goodies for sale from the vendors, lunch, snacks, and treats.
Will there be food there?
Yes, of course! There will be various food, drink, and treat options from food trucks and vendors at this year's Birth and Baby Fest including alternative diet options (vegetarian, gluten free, and dairy-free). Check back as specific food vendors are arranged for 2026. Peanuts will not be allowed at the venue. Water bottle filling stations are available to fill your bottles.
Is there a space to feed and care for a baby?
Yes! Although you are supported and welcome to nurse or feed your baby anywhere you feel comfortable at the event, we understand that sometimes people would prefer a more private, quiet space. Classroom 4 on campus will house a seating area for infant feeding and also an appropriate place for diaper-changing too. Ask any vendor where to head if this is needed.
Will the event be indoors or outdoors?
Much of the event will be held outdoors, mostly in shaded areas, but there will be presentations held indoors. In the interest of keeping everyone as safe and healthy as possible, we ask that anyone who is feeling symptoms of illness not attend the event. Thanks for your cooperation in helping to keep everyone safe and healthy!
