ABOUT


About the Acton Children’s Business Fair

The Acton Children's Business Fair of Washington, DC sparks children's entrepreneurial spirit.

The largest entrepreneurship event for children in North America, this morning-long fair gives children the opportunity to showcase their very own businesses.

Children ages 6 to 14 are invited to create a product or service and sell to customers at our morning-long market. Judges award prizes to recognize excellent work.

Past businesses have included handmade greeting cards, a pet-sitting service for exotic birds, a photobomb booth, and a lemonade stand that donated a percentage of profits to protect honeybees. The possibilities are limited only to what children can create!

Originally started in Austin, Texas, the Acton Children's Business Fair has grown to over 1,500 fairs around the world serving more than 50,000 young entrepreneurs in over 500 cities and 20 countries.
