Children’s Business Fair in Wenham

Could a Ten Year Old Invent the next Uber? Find out at the Hamilton Wenham Children’s Business Fair in Massachusetts

Step into a world of imagination, innovation, and entrepreneurial spirit, all powered by kids! At this one-day marketplace, young entrepreneurs ages 8-18 years old will showcase their creativity and grit as they launch real businesses they’ve built from the ground up.

From developing a brand to crafting unique products or services and mastering their marketing pitch, these kid-powered startups are ready to impress and inspire. Come support their ventures, shop their creations, and experience the energy of the next generation of changemakers.

We will host approximately 50 booths for children vendors ages 8-18 years old at the upcoming Children's Business Fair on Saturday, September 27, from 9:00am – 12:00 pm. We are charging a $25 booth fee (this is whether you share a table or not) which will cover all operational event costs. Children Vendors can set up starting at 8am and start to take down at 12pm. All children vendors should have an adult accompanying them for the duration of the event and in addition, there will be on-site volunteers who can help you.

This exciting event is proudly sponsored by the Acton Academy, and with heartfelt thanks for our amazing donors and local volunteers. Together, we believe that principled entrepreneurs, whether household names like Steve Jobs and Sara Blakely, or the everyday business heroes in our communities, are the driving force behind innovation, job creation, and meaningful change.

Join us and discover the power of young minds in action! See this as your entrepreneurial starting line - you don't have to be a pro to participate, just the desire to put yourself out there into a supportive community!
