Twin Cities Birth and Babies Expo

This Saturday [October 15th] is the 3rd annual Twin Cities Birth and Babies Expo. This is a FREE event held at Midtown Global Market in Minneapolis from 10:00AM - 3:00PM.

The mission of the Twin Cities Birth and Baby Expo is to connect local families with empowering, multicultural resources and education that promote healthy birth and parenting and to celebrate the transformative experience of becoming parents. The Expo will showcase local businesses and organizations that operate in line with this mission. We aim to connect parents and families in the Twin Cities with businesses and organizations that offer products or services promoting healthy birth and parenting from diverse perspectives.
