How It Works
Kids develop a brand, create a product or service, build a marketing strategy, and then open for customers at our one-day marketplace. What better way to learn about business and entrepreneurship?
Originally started in Austin, Texas, the Acton Children's Business Fair has grown to over 1,400 fairs in 542 cities and 23 countries featuring over 54 thousand young entrepreneurs!
