About the fair
Observe the opportunity for children to launch their very own startup business!
Children develop a brand, create a product or service, build a marketing strategy, and then open for customers at our one-day marketplace.
We will host 36-40 booths at our second event.
This event is sponsored by pro-klam media and the generous support of our awesome donors and volunteers. We all believe that principled entrepreneurs are heroes and role models for the next generation.
Whether an entrepreneur is famous like Elon Musk or Oprah Winfrey or they are one of the thousands of unsung business owners across this country, these are the people who make sacrifices to innovate, create jobs and serve their communities.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Atlanta Children’s Business Fair?
The Atlanta Children’s Business Fair inspires children to discover their inner entrepreneur. The largest entrepreneurship event for kids in North America, this one-day market gives children the opportunity to showcase their very own businesses.
How many businesses will you accept?
We will accept up to 40 businesses.
Where should I begin?
Start with our resources page. Read inspiring stories about other young entrepreneurs and play games to hone your business skills.
How do I apply? Can I apply as part of a group?
Each application must be submitted online. Please submit one application for each business. Children working as a group should submit one application that includes each child’s information. No more than 3 participants per business, please. The $20 entry fee is non-refundable. Each approval impacts subsequent applicants. Thank you for your understanding.
What is on the application?
The application asks children to think through some simple, but important elements of their business:
- What product or service do you plan to sell?
- What price will you charge for each product/service? How much will each product/service cost you?
- How will you pay for your startup costs? If someone is helping you with your startup costs, how will you pay that person back?
- How will you advertise/market your business before the fair?
- At the end of the fair, how will you determine if your business was a success?
What if someone else has the same business idea?
Two cupcake businesses? Not a problem. In general, we will let market forces play out, though we will evaluate later entries to ensure their idea is not the same.
How will the fair be set up?
The fair will be an indoor event with tables. Each business will be given an area with a six (6') table and 1-2 chairs. Table cloths will not be provided. We are not able to accommodate businesses requiring electricity.
Will electricity be available?
Unfortunately, we are not able to provide electricity to the vendors.
What are the rules?
This event is designed to give children the experience of selling a product or service. If a parent is found selling or promoting a child’s product or service, their child’s business will be disqualified from the event.
Parents of younger children may sit in the booth, but the children should be responsible for set up, customer interaction, and sales.
Parents may help their child fill out the application, but we expect the children to do as much as possible by themselves.
**Please note: - ALL items being sold must be creations of the children.
- No pre-made food/beverage items (Cheetos, Oreos, Bottled water, etc). Also, all non-food items must be made by the children.
- Wholesale items that are embellished will not suffice.
- Again, NO electricity will be provided or available for your use.
Any vendors not adhering to these rules, even if arrived the day of the event, will not be allowed to participate and the entry fee will be forfeited.
- No pre-made food/beverage items (Cheetos, Oreos, Bottled water, etc). Also, all non-food items must be made by the children.
