Inside the Smart Parenting Mother’s Day Fair 2026

Moms showed up, showed out, and took the well-deserved break they absolutely deserved at the Smart Parenting Mother’s Day Fair 2026, held on May 9 at Robinsons Galleria-Ortigas.

Back for its second year, the one-day event embraced the theme “Beyond Labels, We’re All Moms,” celebrating every motherhood journey while giving moms a chance to relax, recharge, and simply have fun. And true to its late ’90s to early 2000s-inspired vibe, the fair reminded everyone of one thing: moms are cool.

From wellness activities and nostalgic games to a heartfelt cover reveal and exciting giveaways, this year’s fair was packed with memorable moments. Here’s everything that went down.

At the Wellness Zone, attendees got access to health and self-care experiences made to help moms prioritize themselves for a change.

Kindred offered free consultations with experts, including stress management specialists, lactation consultants, OB-GYNs, and nutritionists, giving moms personalized guidance for their health and well-being.

Meanwhile, booths from Aveeno, Sanicare, Orange & Peach, and Yudu kept the energy high with activities, experiences, and exciting prizes throughout the day.

Moms did not come to play with their outfits, showing up in effortlessly chic, Y2K-inspired looks that perfectly matched the fair’s nostalgic theme.

What’s a Y2K-inspired fair without a little nostalgia?

The Fun House quickly became a crowd favorite, giving moms and families a chance to relive their younger years through claw machines and Dance Revolution arcades. The space brought plenty of throwback fun, with moms of all ages tapping into their playful side while kids joined in on the excitement.

Of course, the Photo Area, complete with a life-sized Smart Parenting TV, became a must-stop spot, with attendees striking poses and capturing their “main character era” moments.

No fair experience is complete without good food, and the Food Park delivered.

Attendees fueled up with delicious bites from Goodness Graze’s grazing table, coffee from Pickup Coffee, and refreshing hydration courtesy of Wilkins. Moms and families also enjoyed snacks and treats from Theo & Philo, Nutri Boost, Goldilocks, and more throughout the day.

Safe to say, plenty of moms went home with happy tummies!

One of the biggest highlights of the event came when Smart Parenting’s May cover mom, Iza Calzado, took the stage for the official unveiling of her first-ever family cover with husband Ben Wintle and daughter Deia Amihan.

The actress became emotional upon seeing the final cover for the first time, sharing that she waited until the event for the reveal because she wanted the moment to feel genuine.

Celebrity mom Jessy Mendiola also made a special appearance at the event, joining a segment with Sanicare, where she was introduced as the brand's newest ambassador. Guest doctors and experts shared insights throughout the day, making the fair feel like one big village for moms and families.

Throughout the day, attendees also enjoyed raffles, giveaways, and treats from participating brands including EQ, Wilcon Depot, Ideal Vision, Uncle John’s, Sanicare, Yudu Learning, Ever Bilena, Hello Glow, Ever Organics, The Diet Coach, UV Care, Buds & Blooms, Nala Woman, Mustela, Snug-a-Hug, Posh Skin, Snail White, Tropicana, Bonita, Fast Aid, Penshoppe, Goldilocks, and more.

And for one day at least, the Smart Parenting Mother’s Day Fair 2026 made sure they were.
