Babypalooza Baby Expo Returns to Nashville

Nashville, TN – On Saturday, October 5, 2024, the highly anticipated Nashville Babypalooza Baby Expo returns to The Factory at Franklin from 12 PM to 4 PM. This free-to-attend event provides new and expectant parents with essential resources, educational workshops, and the opportunity to connect with local health and family services. Babypalooza is the premier event for parents looking to prepare for the journey of parenthood in a fun and interactive environment.

Attendees of the Nashville Babypalooza Baby Expo will have the opportunity to explore offerings from a diverse range of exhibitors including Williamson Health and Williamson County Health Department, which deliver vital health services and information. CHICCO, a leader in baby gear, will demonstrate the latest in car seats and strollers. Additionally, the expo will feature A Step Ahead of Middle TN, Big Blue Marble Academy, Blooming Chiropractic, Cadence Academy, Mothers Milk Bank TN, Nurture the Next, Pickens Hollow Financial Group, PreservaStem, Tennessee Donor Services, The Academy of Seaboard Lane, Vanderbilt SEA Lab, and more.

This year, Babypalooza will also feature the Black Maternal Health Expo, powered by NOWINCLUDED, addressing the critical need for healthcare equity and support for Black mothers. With Black women being three times more likely to die from pregnancy-related complications than their white counterparts, the Black Maternal Health Expo serves as a vital platform for education, advocacy, and community engagement.

Babypalooza Baby Expo: A Community Resource for Parents
Babypalooza is more than just a baby expo—it’s an opportunity for parents to build their support network. Attendees will have access to BabypaloozaU, a series of seminars led by experts in infant care, breastfeeding, postpartum health, and more. Parents can explore and test products from top baby gear brands like Chicco, participate in the citywide baby shower with prizes and games, and connect with resources from Williamson Health, preschools, and family services.

“We aim to equip parents with knowledge and resources while creating a fun and supportive environment. It’s about building your village,” says founder, Cecilia Pearson

The Black Maternal Health Expo: A Call for Change
Alongside Babypalooza, the Black Maternal Health Expo will focus on addressing the alarming disparities faced by Black mothers in the U.S. According to the CDC, Black women are three times more likely to experience pregnancy-related complications and death compared to white women, largely due to systemic inequities in healthcare.

In collaboration with NOWINCLUDED, this portion of the event is designed to empower and educate Black mothers, providing resources tailored specifically to their unique experiences.

“With the Black Maternal Health Expo, we’re committed to empowering Black mothers with targeted resources and advocacy to enhance their health outcomes,” says NOWINCLUDED co-founder, Tiffany Whitlow.
