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 event.

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! Tucson Coffee Cart will be on hand for delicious morning fuel. There will be a food truck with alternative lunch options (vegetarian, GF, and dairy free).

Will people be masked?

Masks are not required at the Birth and Baby Fest, but are recommended in indoor settings for anyone who wishes to wear one. Much of the event will be held outdoors, 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!
