About the fair
We are collaborating with Social Club for this event! Downtown Ventura 8/2

We believe every kid should have the opportunity to learn how to start a business without the financial burden falling on their family.
With support from charter schools, after-school programs, grants, and community sponsors, we help kids access business classes where they learn essential skills and apply them by launching their own booth at @the805childrensbusinessfair.
We’re building community through youth entrepreneurship 💪

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.
