Western Wake Children’s Business Fair — Presented by Astra Launchpad

Welcome to the Western Wake Children's Business Fair!

Join us at Thomas Brooks Park for a day of creativity, innovation, and inspiration. Local kids will be running their very own businesses — from handmade crafts and delicious treats to tech projects and student-built apps.

This event is part of a national movement empowering young entrepreneurs to dream big, take risks, and bring their ideas to life.

Come shop, cheer, and celebrate the next generation of creators. You might even meet the founder of the next big thing!

Register for free to get event reminders, sneak peeks of the booths, and a chance to win a fun giveaway on the day!

Proudly sponsored by Astra, an education program helping young innovators turn ideas into impact.

This year, Astra Launchpad is proud to sponsor several student-run ventures developed through our From MVP to Sales Accelerator, including:

• SparkUp – a confidence-building game platform for kids
• FitMatch – an app that helps you find your perfect fitness partner
• Varagloss – handmade lip gloss crafted with care and creativity
• Figs & Walnuts – delicious homemade treats with a family twist
• MediByte Tech – a student-built health-tracking tool
• Kiss & Co – a preteen-run cosmetics and wellness brand
• …and more original ideas from Astra’s Young Founders!
