About the fair
Watch young entrepreneurs launch their very own businesses!

On Saturday, November 21, 2026, from 9 AM to Noon, up to 21 young entrepreneurs ages 6 to 16 will open for business at our free, one-day outdoor marketplace, hosted by Sage Academy Granbury. Each child develops a brand, creates a product or service, builds a marketing strategy, and then opens for real customers.

Now in its fourth year, this event is part of the Acton Children's Business Fair and made possible by the generous support of our sponsors and volunteers. We all believe that principled entrepreneurs are heroes and role models for the next generation.

Whether an entrepreneur is famous like Sara Blakely or 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.

Booth applications are open now — and shoppers, admission is free. Bring the family and come support Granbury's youngest business owners!

We love that each year our community steps up to support the Granbury Children’s Business Fair!

Your sponsorship helps provide tents, tables, and chairs — the essentials that allow our young entrepreneurs to shine. By covering these logistics, we keep adult involvement to a minimum so the focus stays on what matters: learners running their own businesses, gaining confidence, and improving year after year.

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.

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.

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.

The fair will be a tented outdoor event with booths. Each business will be given a booth with an 6-foot table, tenting (when applicable), and 2 chairs. Table cloths will not be provided. We are not able to accommodate businesses requiring electricity.

This event is designed to give children the experience of selling a product.

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.

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.
