About the fair
Kirkland Children's Business Fair is an opportunity for children ages 6-15 to explore their passion, ideate, create a product of their interest, and launch their own business. Kids gain a hands-on experience with marketing and selling their creations with their friends and family as customers in a fun and engaging way during our one-day marketplace. It gives kids in our community an opportunity to spread their entrepreneurial wings!
The fair will take place during Kirkland's signature summer annual event- Kirkland Uncorked happening on July 15th from 11 am – 6 pm at Marina Park in Kirkland downtown. We will host several young entrepreneurs and the event is free.
Kids are welcome to create a product, build a marketing strategy, and then open for customers on the day of the event. The children are responsible for the setup, sales, and interacting with customers. Applicants are encouraged to spread this word and share with their friends and family.

- There will be no stall fee.
- If your child is interested to participate but not sure what they would like to create/sell at the fair, that is okay and can be decided closer to the event. Please go ahead and apply to submit your application with minimal information so we get an idea of how many kids will participate.
- There will be tables arranged, so your child will not need to get anything besides their sale items and anything specific to their booth [like a table cloth].
For more information, please contact Sanika Datar at sanika.datar@gmail.com.

Frequently asked questions
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 3 participants per business.
What is on the application?
The application asks kids to think through some simple, but important elements of their business. However, if your child is interested to participate but not sure what they would like to create/sell at the fair, that is okay and can be decided closer to the event. Please go ahead and apply to submit your application with minimal information so we get an idea of how many kids will participate.
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 will the fair be set up?
The fair will be an indoor event with tables/booths. Each business will be given a table for their booth. Table cloths will not be provided. We are not able to accommodate businesses requiring electricity.
Will electricity be available?
Unfortunately, we are not able to provide electricity to the booths.
What are the rules?
This event is designed to give children the experience of selling a product or service. Parents of younger children may stay by their booth, but the children should be responsible for set up, customer interaction, and sales.
