Children’s Business Fair Returns to Downtown Rockville on Saturday, Aug. 19

The Third Annual Montgomery County Children’s Business Fair will return to Rockville Town Center from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 19, to display the works and ideas of more than 55 young entrepreneurs. The event is free to attend and open to the public.

The fair is back after a three-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 health crisis. The event was founded Tameka Montgomery of the Raising Entrepreneurs Podcast and a senior executive at the U.S. Small Business Administration.

“Today’s youth are tomorrow’s business innovators and leaders,” said Montgomery. “The Montgomery County Children’s Business Fair ignites their entrepreneurial spirit and gives them a head start on cultivating the skills and mindset to be the next generation of changemakers.”

The fair presents the young entrepreneurs with opportunities to win cash awards in the categories:
  • Innovative idea
  • Best presentation
  • Best sales pitch
Awards will be determined by a panel of judges composed of local business representatives and celebrity influencers.
