Observe the opportunity for children to launch their very own business!
Children develop a brand, create a product or service, build a marketing strategy, and then open for customers at our one-day marketplace.
This bi-annual event is brought to you by Menifee Real Estate Group, and made possible by the generous support of other sponsors, donors and volunteers. We all believe that principled entrepreneurs are heroes and role models for the next generation.
Entrepreneurs are the unsung business owners across this country, and are the people who make sacrifices to innovate, create jobs and serve their communities.

I have 6 grandchildren who live in Menifee, and I wanted to create this Fair as an opportunity for our Menifee children to enjoy a fun and educational experience.

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 let later entries know if another applicant has a similar idea so the later entrant can decide what to do.

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.
