Frequently asked questions
The Acton Children’s Business Fair inspires children to discover their inner entrepreneur. As the largest entrepreneurship event for children in North America, this one-day market gives young innovators the opportunity to showcase their very own businesses — everything from handmade crafts to delicious treats and creative services.
We will accept up to 16 businesses for this event. Spots fill quickly, so apply early to secure your booth!
Applications must be submitted online.
Please submit one application per business.
If children are working as a team, only one application should be submitted — but include the names and ages of each participant (maximum of 3 participants per business).
No problem! Two cupcake or slime stands? That’s part of the fun. We let market forces play out naturally.
The fair will be an indoor event featuring individual booths.
Each child or team will receive:
One 8-foot table
One chair per applicant
Tablecloths will not be provided, and we cannot accommodate electricity.
This event is designed to give children the real-world experience of entrepreneurship — creating a product, setting prices, engaging customers, and making sales.
Parents of children over age 7 are not allowed in booths during the fair. They’re welcome to relax in the Parent Corner or explore downtown while their young entrepreneurs shine.
Parents of younger children may stay nearby but should allow the kids to handle setup, customer interaction, and sales on their own.
Parents may help complete the application but should encourage children to take the lead in planning their business.

Jeff and Laura Sandefer and a few other families wanted to spark a sense of wonder and entrepreneurship in their children, so they created the first Acton Children’s Business Fair in Austin, Texas, in 2007. That first fair had just seven entrepreneurs and 25 attendees. Today, Acton Fairs have expanded worldwide.
