About the fair
SANTEE YOUTH BUSINESS FAIR at SANTEE LAKES
Momentum Tutoring, Santee Lakes Recreation Preserve, and the City of Santee encourage youth to start a business showcasing their gifts, talents, and strengths.
Youth ages 6-17 are invited to develop a brand, create a product or service, build a marketing strategy, and then open for customers at our one-day marketplace at Santee Lakes Recreation Preserve.
Santee Lakes Recreation Preserve is a tranquil oasis nestled in the foothills of Santee, California. The preserve features seven shimmering lakes, surrounded by lush greenery and towering trees, creating a picturesque setting for a youth business fair.
Youth businesses will set up around LAKE 2 allowing attendees to wander a shaded lakeside walkway while shopping!

Frequently asked questions
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 kids 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 60 businesses.
Where should I begin?
Start with our resources page. Read inspiring stories about other young entrepreneurs and play games to hone your business skills.
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. Entry Fee is $30 per booth
What is on the application?
The application asks kids to think through some simple, but important elements of their business:
- What product or service do you plan to sell?
- What price will you charge for each product/service? How much will each product/service cost you?
- How will you pay for your startup costs? If someone is helping you with your startup costs, how will you pay that person back?
- How will you advertise/market your business before the fair?
- At the end of the fair, how will you determine if your business was a success?
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 OUTDOOR event. Each business will provide own tables, chairs, pop-up/shade and everything they need to create own "shop".
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 youth the experience of selling a product or service. Parents of younger children may sit in the booth and help with moving items in and out, but the youth 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.
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.
