We welcomed 400+ guests into the iconic and historic Ferry Building space—moms, dads, kids, grandparents, aunties, and more!

We were excited to offer this event for free and open to the public.

Guests enjoyed a variety of activities, including an interactive play space hosted by Loop, a kids' toy and gear rental service.

MagnaTiles, a ball pit, sticker fun, and more, thanks to Loop!

Meanwhile, MAJO Ideas set up art tables that were an instant hit with kids of all ages.

Children were invited to make kites with MAJO Ideas latest art kit, which celebrates kites and culture.

Each MAJO Ideas art kit features an overarching theme and collaborations with contemporary artists.

Our friends at Coterie setting up shop!

Coterie's airy lounge space featured a variety of their beloved products for babies.

This includes soft-as-cashmere diapers, biodegradable wipes, and the latest offering: ergonomically designed pants for kiddos up to 35+ lbs.

Custom Coterie cookies were also a hit with the kids.

Lucky families got to take totes filled with Coterie samples home with them, plus enter an epic Diaper Bag Giveaway.

Meanwhile, next door at Bobbie, kids enjoyed an additional play space while parents learned all about Bobbie's uber-popular Organic Infant Formula.

Our friends at Once Upon A Farm were also in the house!

Along with handing out Once Upon A Farm samples...

...all packed with fruits and veggies!

Once Upon A Farm also hosted a super-fun family photobooth.

It was a hit for all sizes of families.

The special gif-centric booth encouraged guests to get silly and move—thanks Once Upon A Farm!

Gathering the crowd for the main meal of the event...

A book reading by the one-and-only Christian Robinson and Mac Barnett!

The infinitely charming pair talked about their latest book by Candlewick Press—Twenty Questions.

Twenty Questions, nestled next to dried blooms by Idlewild.

The presentation also included an inspiring personal history lesson, an interactive Q&A, and live drawing in collaboration with the audience.
