About the fair
🚀 Ready… Set… Launch Their First Business!
The Lilburn Children’s Business Fair is where young dreamers become real entrepreneurs. This is your child’s chance to create a brand, sell a product or service, and experience the excitement of running their very own business.
Young entrepreneurs ages 6–17 will develop their idea, design their booth, and open for customers in a high-energy, one-day marketplace filled with shoppers, families, and community support.
✨ This isn’t pretend. This is real business. Real customers. Real confidence.
Every participating business will also be entered into our official competition, where a panel of judges will award prizes for creativity, innovation, and business excellence.

How did the Acton Children’s Business Fair get started?
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 year, there were seven entrepreneurs and around 25 attendees. Now, there are over 115 entrepreneurs and 1,500 attendees at the Acton Children's Business Fair in Austin.
