A warm, welcoming space for families at every stage of the parenting journey opens at GRISS this August, bringing together the people, services and knowledge that make a real difference from day one. Whether you are planning a family, expecting a baby or navigating the early months of parenthood, this expo is built around you.
The Belly, Birth & Beyond Gippsland Expo is a community-focused event dedicated to connecting Gippsland families with trusted local businesses and services. Curated to cover the full arc from preconception through to early parenthood, it gathers providers under one roof so families can discover support, ask questions and form meaningful connections with the people behind the services.
Visitors can explore carefully selected exhibitor stalls, attend free informative talks and workshops designed to educate and empower parents, and take part in a variety of free children's activities on the day. There is also the chance to win prizes from a wide range of local and regional contributors. Entry is just five dollars for adults, with children under twelve admitted free.
Events like this strengthen the fabric of family life across Latrobe City and the broader Gippsland region, making local expertise visible and accessible at a pivotal time in people's lives. By drawing service providers and families together in one place, the expo builds community connections that extend well beyond a single Sunday.
The Belly, Birth & Beyond Gippsland Expo runs from 9am to 3pm on Sunday 2 August 2026 at the Gippsland Regional Indoor Sports Stadium, Catterick Crescent, Traralgon. For more information visit www.bellybirthbeyondgippsland.au.
