Elmhurst Children’s Business Fair Our mission is to give kids in our community the opportunity to bring their creative entrepreneurial ideas to life.

Elmhurst Children’s Business Fair was started in 2024 by a couple of Elmhurst moms. Our primary mission is to inspire youth entrepreneurship by providing low-barrier opportunities for kids in our community to trial their creative business ideas. Additionally, we connect young entrepreneurs with local businesses, offering mentorship that fosters real-world skills and innovation. Through our children’s business fairs, we aim to strengthen our community and raise the profile of both youth and local businesses.
