MOMFEST MARKET
Back by popular demand, guests are invited to shop Mom Halo’s favourite brands and products at the MomFest open-air market. The community has spoken, and we have listened.
On the heels of a Covid recovery, the market is free to attend! The first 100 guests will get a swag bag full of goodies, and there will be a kid’s play area, a diaper station and lots of rooms for strollers.

The VIP ticket includes access to the VIP areas at MomFest. During the day, you will get to go inside the Wychwood Barns to take part in any of the experiences on site. There will be massages, manicures, speakers, meditation, food and drink, just to name a few! Includes unlimited beverage samples, a swag bag and an elevated day of experiences. Stay tuned for the lineup of amazing speakers!

Beverage Partners: Society of Beer Drinking Ladies
Mom Halo is stoked to partner with the team at The Society of Beer Drinking Ladies—an organization that began in 2014 for women to connect and hang out over their favourite sudsy brew. Flash forward to now and the SOBDL has a physical space called Society Clubhouse at College and Dovercourt, has beer & cider at the LCBO, ships Beer Squad Mystery Boxes across the province and is North America’s largest beer/women organization. Oh, and most importantly, they’re also drinkin’ for a cause since a portion of profits support the Canadian Women’s Foundation. To date, they’ve donated over $60,000!
Look for them outside at the market selling their amazing merch and selling a wide range of their favourite beers, ciders, boozy canned cocktails and more! They also have some great non-alcohol options, too.
You can also find them in the VIP Experience where they’ll guide you through a beer/cheese tasting, featuring Ontario craft beer and cheeses!
Then catch them at the Gala where they’ll be serving up beer, wine, cider and more as we party the night away!

The festivities will conclude with the MomFest Awards Gala and Networking event. Moms and parents of all ages and stages of mothership are welcome to join us!
We are excited to bring back the MomFest Awards Gala. We believe that it is our responsibility to create a real community of mom that celebrate one another. We are in the business of lifting each other up!
There was no such thing as the Mom Olympics of the Mom Awards…until we created them! This is your chance to nominate yourself or a mom pal to be celebrated and to be appreciated for the hardest job in the world—momming.
Given the nature of the Covid world, we are streaming portions of the event making sure our community who are dealing with accessibility issues, are too far away or uncomfortable to be in large groups and still be able to connect, learn and engage with the community at large.
