2026 Village Games

Join for a fun, lighthearted afternoon celebrating the real-life moments of parenthood. The Village Games turns everyday parenting tasks into friendly challenges—think finding the missing baby sock, setting up a Pack ’n Play, and other moments made playful. Parents can compete on their own or with a partner — however you want to play. You don’t need to have a baby in the newborn phase to join in. Whether you’re preparing for diapers, long past them, or somewhere in between, come test your skills. Pregnant folks are especially welcome — this is a great opportunity to learn from some of the best. We’re not hosting at Kindred Cville this time. The event will be held at Amy Yang Photography, located at 609 E Market St #110, Charlottesville, VA 22903. Parking & Arrival: • Entrance is off the 7th St side of the building at number 209 • You’ll find street parking on 7th Street • Or you can park in the Market Street garage (often with easy weekend availability) This event is free and open to all. In the spirit of community care, we’re inviting participants to bring a donation for Stepping Stone, a local organization that supports families.

From learning about doulas, baby sleep strategies, pediatric care, and choosing a daycare or preschool to bonding with baby and postpartum care for moms, we’ve gathered helpful articles to guide Charlottesville moms and dads through the early months.
