We will host 100 booths at the 3rd annual event in Waltham Massachusetts on June 22nd, 2019, from 10.00am – 3.00 pm.
This event is brought to you by Mamai Art Gallery, Inc., Acton Academy and the generous support of our 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
How many businesses will you accept?
Where should I begin?
How do I apply? Can I apply as part of a group?
What is on the application?
The application asks kids to think through some simple, but important elements of their business:
Two cupcake businesses? Not a problem. In general, we will let market forces play out, though we will let later entries know if another applicant has a similar idea so the later entrant can decide what to do.
How will the fair be set up?
Will electricity be available?
What are the rules?
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.
How did the Children’s Business Fairs get started?
In Waltham, the fair started with 8 booths and 14 kid entrepreneurs in 2017 then 48 booths and 73 entrepreneurs in 2018.
