Who Are We
​
The Red River Children's Business Fair inspires children to discover their inner entrepreneurs. The largest entrepreneurship event for children in North Louisiana, this morning-long fair allows children to showcase their very own businesses. This will be our fourth year of having the Red River Children's Business Fair in the Shreveport, LA area. This year’s fair is being presented by KEMET, Inc., Kids Engaging in Math, Engineering, and Technology. KEMET, Inc is a 501c(3) that brings awareness to the STEM fields.
The Red River Children's Business Fair will be held on May 25,2024 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at Southern Hills Community Center. This year we are accepting up to 32 booths. Children ages 6 to 18 are invited to create a product or service and sell it to customers at our morning-long market. Each child that participates will be able to attend an Intro to Business class and receive a free t-shirt and souvenir book. Prizes will be given for the best businesses by age and category.
This is an incredible opportunity for Shreveport/Bossier City children. Past businesses have included handmade greeting cards, a pet-sitting service for exotic birds, a photobomb booth, and a lemonade stand that donated a percentage of profits to protect honeybees. The possibilities are limited only to what children can create!
Originally started in Austin, Texas, the Acton Children's Business Fair has grown to cities including Chicago, Phoenix, Grand Rapids, Dallas, and Los Angeles. This is a welcomed experience for our children. In order to have this event we are asking for assistance from the community.
