Families across the Stuttgart military community are invited to attend the Baby Expo 2026, a community-focused event designed to support parents, parents-to-be, and caregivers raising young children while living overseas. The event brings together trusted programs, services and partners in one welcoming and accessible space.
The Baby Expo will take place on Saturday, March 21, 2026, from 1000–1400 at the Panzer Main Exchange, located at Panzer Kaserne, Building 2903, 71032 Böblingen. This new venue offers a spacious, family-friendly environment where attendees can explore resources, engage in conversations and move comfortably at their own pace.

Living overseas can be an exciting experience, but for families with babies or young children, it can also feel overwhelming, particularly when familiar support systems are far away. The Stuttgart Baby Expo was created to help bridge that gap by connecting families with organizations that understand the unique challenges of military life abroad.
Throughout the event, families will have the opportunity to connect with a wide range of local and on-base partners, including USO, Böblingen Hospital, German Red Cross (DRK), New Parent Support, Joy Center, WIC, Public Health, Passport, and SOFA services, community banking representatives and more. Each organization provides practical guidance, information and support tailored to families navigating parenthood overseas.
In addition to informational tables, the American Red Cross will offer Hands-On CPR presentations and a Resiliency Workshop, giving families practical skills and tools they can use in everyday life. Parents will also have the option to sign up for a Parent Pediatric CPR/AED/First Aid class, designed specifically to allow parents to attend with babies 12 months and younger. Information about upcoming Mindful Movement sessions, which focus on gentle movement, relaxation and stress management, will also be available. Some sessions can be tailored to support women who are expecting. Building on the success of last year’s expo, the 2026 event will again feature raffle prizes, with some participating tables offering bonus entries as a way to encourage engagement and interaction throughout the event.

Following the Baby Expo, families are encouraged to continue the day at the USO Stuttgart Special Delivery Event, a baby shower for new and expecting mothers hosted at the USO Center. The event includes games, prizes, sweet treats and opportunities to connect with other military moms, offering a natural extension to the day’s focus on community and support.
The Stuttgart Baby Expo is free and open to the community. All event updates and program information are available on the American Red Cross Stuttgart Linktree.
