The Baby, Child & Family Event of the Year is back! Baby Fest is a one-stop shopping and learning opportunity for expectant parents and families with young children. 

Last year's Baby Fest drew 3,000 attendees and 200 people were waiting in line before the doors opened.

Here's what's in store:

• Shop and learn with 100 exhibitors and sponsors - boutiques, photographers, baby services & more
• 'Ask the Doc' with Ochsner's pediatricians and OBGYNs

• Meet and greet Princess Tiana and Super Why
• Pirate and Princess Parties
• Kids' Activity Area - interactive display from The Learning Tower, games, face painting & more

The first 100 moms with young children or moms-to-be through the doors will receive coveted diaper bags from Kalencom, New Orleans' famous diaper bag line. The first 50 Kalencom diaper bags will be filled with swag!  

Admission is $5 at the door. Children 12 and under get in free. Discounted tickets are available at Fleurty Girl locations and PJ's on Magazine.
