What is the Kids Market?: The Kids Market is a fun and supportive space for young entrepreneurs (ages 6–17) to showcase their creativity, build confidence, and learn the basics of running a small business. Whether they’re selling handmade crafts, art, baked goods, or other kid-created products — this is a wonderful opportunity for kids to share their talents with the community.
What’s Involved:
We’re offering your organization the chance to host your very own pumpkin booth at no cost. This is a fundraising and outreach opportunity designed with community impact in mind.
Here’s how it works:
- You bring the pumpkins – your group is responsible for sourcing and selling your own pumpkins.
- You keep 100% of the proceeds to support your cause, program, or mission.
- You decorate your booth to reflect your group’s spirit and add to the festival’s festive, fall-themed atmosphere.
- We provide the space and will highlight your participation in our event promotions, social media, and day-of signage.
Why Participate?
- Raise funds for your initiatives in a fun, high-traffic setting.
- Engage with the community and build visibility for your mission.
- Create a memorable experience for your volunteers and supporters.
- Be part of a vibrant and meaningful local tradition that puts families and community connections at the center.
