Growing Future CEOs in Fairview: Children’s Entrepreneur Market Returns This Spring!
Fairview is no stranger to big ideas. From tech startups to homegrown small businesses, entrepreneurship is stitched into the fabric of our community. And this spring, we’re celebrating that spirit in its purest form—through the bright-eyed, bold-hearted young minds of the next generation.
Mark your calendars! The Children’s Entrepreneur Market returns to Fairview Town Center (325 Town Place, next to iPic Theater) on Saturday, April 26, 2025, from 1–4 p.m. And trust me, this is not your average lemonade stand.
This vibrant, youth-powered marketplace will feature 50 to 75 booths, all run by local kids who’ve spent weeks dreaming up, building, and launching their very own businesses. From handmade crafts to baked goods, artwork to mini tech ventures—these young shopkeepers are bringing the hustle, creativity, and courage that define the entrepreneurial spirit.
It’s more than an event. It’s a movement.
A hands-on economics lesson.
A showcase of possibility.
And a reminder that when a community like Fairview creates space for young people to lead, the whole region gets stronger.
Why This Matters
At the Fairview Economic Development Corporation, we believe in the Getting Neighborly mindset. We believe that community and commerce go hand in hand. Events like the Children’s Entrepreneur Market remind us that entrepreneurship doesn’t have an age limit. And more importantly, neither does community support.
These kids aren’t just selling stuff—they’re learning how to pitch, price, market, and manage. They're stepping out in faith, just like any business owner. And they're watching how we respond.
Let’s Show Up, Fairview
Neighbors, this is your invitation: Come out and support these young go-getters. Walk the booths. Ask them about their business. Buy something, even if you don’t need it. Tell them they’ve got what it takes.
Because maybe, just maybe…
That encouragement is what plants the seed that turns into the next great North Texas company.
Let’s keep the spark of entrepreneurship burning bright in Fairview.
