Pregnancy Expo & Family Festival 2026

Families in our community are coming together on Saturday, May 2, 2026 from 3-6 PM at Hillside Park for an opportunity to celebrate. The last two years have been particularly difficult and isolating. Thinking about safety protocols and all the needs in our community, Breastfeed Durham is hosting a family festival and health fair with live performances and readings by Pierce Freelon. We will celebrate together rain or shine enjoying fruit pops and the spray ground.

Durham Pregnancy Expo & Family Festival
When: Saturday, May 2, 2026 | 3-6 pm
Where: Hillside Park, 1301 S Roxboro St, Durham, NC 27707 (see map)
