Children’s Business Fair – Applications Due

The Weston-Wayland Children’s Business Fair inspires children to discover their inner entrepreneurs. The largest entrepreneurship event for kids in North America, this one-day market gives children the opportunity to showcase their very own businesses.

Application deadline: March 29, 2026

The opportunity for children to launch their very own startup business!

Kids 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 the Rotary Club of Weston & Wayland and the generous support of our donors and volunteers.  We all believe that entrepreneurs are heroes and role models for the next generation.

Whether an entrepreneur is famous like Elon Musk or Oprah Winfrey 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.

“Today’s youths are tomorrow’s business innovators and leaders. The Children’s Business Fair gives students the opportunity to spread their entrepreneurial wings and get a head start on promising business careers.” Said Jeff Sandefer, founder of the Acton School of Business, one of the sponsors of the fair.

Awards will be presented in each of the four age groups (6-7, 8-10, 11-12, and 13-14) for:
“Most Business Potential”
“Most Creative Idea”
“Most Environmentally Sustainable Practices”
“Most Impressive Presentation”
And the “Chairman’s Choice” overall winner will receive a $50 prize.

We look forward to seeing you there!
