Babydays Ghent

Babydays is an annual public trade fair dedicated entirely to the start of family life. It offers expectant parents and young families reliable guidance combined with fresh inspiration. The name “Babydays” symbolises the formative period surrounding pregnancy, birth and a child’s first years of life—a time when sound information, reassurance and well-informed decisions are especially important. This is precisely where the fair comes in, bringing together up-to-date expert knowledge, vetted products and personal advice in one accessible setting.

In Ghent, Babydays takes place each year at the Ghelamco Arena, a modern, centrally located venue with excellent transport links. The fair is organised by CDC Events, an experienced Belgian event organiser that stages Babydays as part of a nationwide series at multiple locations across Belgium. As a result, the event is firmly embedded in the Belgian family and consumer landscape and enjoys strong national recognition.

In terms of content, Babydays covers all topics relevant to pregnancy and the early stages of parenthood. The focus is on baby and toddler products such as prams, car seats, furniture, clothing, toys and care items, alongside services in the fields of health, nutrition, breastfeeding support, preventive care and parent coaching. The programme is complemented by practical talks and one-to-one conversations with midwives, nutritionists, care specialists and other professionals, who address questions in a clear, everyday and solution-oriented way. A distinctive feature of the fair is the Baby Guide, which provides visitors with verified contacts, product samples, gifts and exclusive show offers, ensuring that the visit remains useful well beyond the event itself.

The strength of Babydays lies in its successful blend of information and experience. Visitors can compare and test products, benefit from show discounts, take part in interactive activities and exchange ideas with experts in a relaxed atmosphere. Exhibitors come primarily from the baby and children’s products industry, healthcare and care services, retail, and family-focused service and advisory sectors.

Babydays is primarily aimed at expectant parents, parents-to-be and families with young children, but it also appeals to grandparents and caregivers seeking well-founded, targeted information. As a major event in Ghent, Babydays also reinforces the city’s role as an important event and exhibition hub in Flanders, attracting visitors from across the region. The venue itself is another key advantage: the Ghelamco Arena is easily accessible by car via the ring roads as well as by public transport and offers ample parking—ideal conditions for a relaxed, informative and rewarding day centred on the beginning of family life.

The Babydays will take place on 2 days from Saturday, 21. March to Sunday, 22. March 2026 in Ghent.
