About the fair
Observe the opportunity for children to launch their very own business!
Children develop a brand, create a product or service, build a marketing strategy, and then open for customers at our one-day marketplace.
This event is sponsored by Acton Academy, and the generous support of our donors and volunteers. We all believe that principled entrepreneurs are heroes and role models for the next generation.
Whether an entrepreneur is famous like Steve Jobs or Sara Blakely or they are 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.

How did the Acton Children’s Business Fair get started?
The first Acton Children’s Business Fair was created in 2007 in Austin, Texas, by Jeff and Laura Sandefer and a few other families who wanted to spark curiosity and entrepreneurship in their children.
That first fair featured 7 young entrepreneurs and about 25 attendees. Today, the Austin fair hosts over 115 businesses and welcomes 1,500+ attendees.
