Fall Kids Mini Market Showcases Young Entrepreneurs

October 9, 2025


We are pleased to announce that, in collaboration with Made in ALX & Lost Dog Cafe & Westover Taco, Macaroni KID: Arlington-Alexandria and Newington, Arlington, VA, will host the First Annual Fall Kids Mini Market.  The community is invited to experience the creativity and innovation of young entrepreneurs at the Fall Kids Mini Market, taking place on Saturday, November 15, 2025, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at UPSIDE on Moore in Arlington, VA.  Admission is free, and all are welcome to attend and support our vendors. 

This family-friendly event is designed to inspire leadership, confidence, and responsibility in youth by allowing them to run their own businesses for a day.

Twenty kid vendors will showcase and sell their handmade products — from original art and crafts to baked treats, jewelry, and creative goods — all while learning valuable lessons in business ownership, marketing, and customer service.

Visitors can expect a festive fall atmosphere, local vendors, photo opportunities, and interactive family fun. The event will also highlight local in-house businesses and community partners who share a passion for supporting youth development and entrepreneurship.

For more information or to learn how your kid vendor can participate or how your business/organization can join as a sponsor & community partner, please visit our Fall Kids Mini Market site today!
