Acton Children's Business Fair

The Acton Children's Business Fair is an inspiring event taking place at The Rim in San Antonio, Texas. This one-day marketplace is designed to empower children by providing them with the opportunity to launch their very own businesses. Participants will develop a brand, create a product or service, and build a marketing strategy, all culminating in a chance to sell to customers. The fair is the largest entrepreneurship event for children in North America, showcasing the innovative spirit of young entrepreneurs. With a visitor count expected to reach around 1,500, the event is set to feature 36 exhibitors, giving children a platform to showcase their creativity and business acumen.The event, sponsored by Acton Academy North San Antonio and supported by various donors and volunteers, emphasizes the importance of principled entrepreneurship. It aims to inspire the next generation by highlighting both famous entrepreneurs and the unsung heroes of local business communities. Each child will have the opportunity to manage their own booth, including a 6-foot table, and engage directly with customers. While parents may assist younger children at their booths, the responsibility of setup, customer interaction, and sales falls on the children themselves. This hands-on experience is crucial for nurturing their entrepreneurial spirit. The fair encourages diversity and inclusivity, allowing participants of all backgrounds to take part in this enriching experience.
