Our Kidpreneur Program

A real market booth for a first real business — free for young makers 16 and under.

The Kidpreneur Program is one of our most treasured traditions. We believe entrepreneurial skills are life skills — and that there's no better classroom than a real booth at a real market, with real customers.

We're excited to partner with your young entrepreneur by providing a free space in our vendor community where they can set up shop and experience the joys (and challenges) of running their own business.

How It Works

Open to makers 16 and under selling things they've grown, made, or crafted themselves.
Kidpreneurs get a free 10’ × 10’ booth and may attend up to twice a month.
Apply first — products are approved before your first market day.
A parent or guardian must be with the Kidpreneur for the whole market day.
Selling food or drinks? Cottage food and safe-handling rules apply — the program rules cover the details, and our rules assistant can help.

Got a kid with a big idea?

The application takes about 10 minutes, with a parent or guardian.
