Lydia Tay & Luna Yildiz are super excited to host this fair for the 2nd year in the South Bay! They are the proud entrepreneurs of Boba Trinkets which has participated in many CBFs over the years!
What is the Acton Children's Business Fair? The Acton Children's Business Fair inspires children to discover their inner entrepreneur. The largest entrepreneurship event for children 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.
How do I apply? Can I apply as part of a group? 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 2 participants per business. Children should be 6-16 years on the date of the fair.
Registration fees are $40 and non-refundable.
What if someone else has the same business idea? Two slime 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? The fair will be an indoor event. Each business will be given a 8ft x 6ft booth space.
PLEASE NOTE: TABLES ARE NOT PROVIDED. Please bring your own 4-ft or 6-ft rectangular table or have an alternative booth setup that ABSOLUTELY fits within 8ft by 6ft. We will provide you with 2 chairs for each booth.
What are the rules? This event is designed to give children the experience of selling a product, service or experience (e.g. carnival games). All products and services should be created or delivered by the children themselves. Products should not be bought and resold as-is. Participants who do this will automatically be disqualified from the fair and prize consideration.
Due to permit and safety restrictions, businesses selling food and drinks will not be approved at this time.
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.
Will electricity be available? Unfortunately, we are not able to provide electricity to the booths.
