The event will feature area organizations tabling to provide information to members of the community, including pregnant, breastfeeding and postpartum women and their families.

New activities this year will be a Mommy & Me yoga session under the pavilion, conducted by Moonbow Wellness, and a table set up with pepperoni rolls, drinks and other goodies provided by Rolling with Mama D mobile food service.

The event culminates in a walk around the downtown block to raise awareness about breastfeeding.
