The Acton Children’s Business Fair (www.childrensbusinessfair.org) inspires children to discover their inner entrepreneurs. The largest entrepreneurship event for kids in North America, this one-day market gives children the opportunity to showcase their very own businesses.

Each Children's Business Fair (a list of them you can see on the "Explore" page) is run separately from each other. Each fair is organized either by private schools, small business owners, organizations or individuals who are passionate about youth entrepreneurship.

Each booth can have up to 3 kids. Parents are encouraged to stay and cheerlead their small business owners! Bring your friends and family. The more people to stop&shop the better the experience for our awesome kids!
We have room for 60 booths in total.

We are located downtown Morgan Hill at the amphitheater area of the Community and Cultural Center. We get pretty good foot traffic each year, and the kids often sell out! That is a good problem to have. Right?

The application must be submitted online via this website. 

Please submit one application for each business. 

Children working as a group should submit one application that includes each child’s information. 
We accept up to 3 participants per business/booth.

The application asks kids to think through some simple, but important elements of their business.

Do you accept FOOD BOOTHS?
We are only accepting food booths that are selling food that fall under the cottage kitchen.

Not a problem! Healthy competition is very encouraged.
We will let market forces play out, though we will let later entries know if another applicants have a similar idea so the later entrant can decide what to do.

Cash prizes, raffle prizes, certificates, and more!  

All booths during our fair are judged.
For all the winners in each category, we have cash prizes, gift baskets, merchandise sponsored by our local small businesses, and more. 

Is there a Registration Fee?
Yes. $50 per booth. The registration fee pays for some expenses required to organize this event. Venue rental, insurance, marketing materials, prizes, and certificates, just to name a few. This event is organized by passionate parents and is based mostly on volunteer work. 
 
Will electricity be available?

For safety reasons, we are not able to provide electricity to the booths.

To meet this goal we encourage parents to be involved with the entire process as little as possible.

We have several spots under natural shades and these can be offered to people who can't provide their own shade. These spots will be given in a first-come-first-served order.
