Frequently asked questions
The St. George 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.
We will accept up to 75 businesses.
What is the cost of a booth?
The booth fee for this Holiday Market is a new, unwrapped toy valued at a minimum of $10 that will be donated to the Toys for Tots event. Each business requires it's own booth. The new, unwrapped toy will be due at check-in for each business on the day of the event.
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.
Two cupcake businesses? Not a problem. In general, we will let market forces play out and find that even similar ideas are still different enough that it doesn't create an issue.
The fair will be a outdoor event in the parking lot of Fiesta Fun and will be in conjunction with the St. George Car Show + Toys for Tots. Each business will provide their own 6' table, a pop-up tent (recommended but optional), and chairs (recommended but optional) and any other items their booth requires. Table cloths will not be provided.
This event is designed to give children the experience of selling a product or service.
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, create their product, and sell their product 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.
