3rd Annual Kidpreneurs Event

The 3rd Annual Kidpreneurs Fair – PA returns on Saturday, September 20, 2025, from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM, at Messiah University’s Brubaker Auditorium in Mechanicsburg, PA. This non-profit community event, organized by Mechanicsburg couple Ashruta Shettar and Pradeep Patil, is where creativity, education, and entrepreneurship collide in one inspiring day. At this unique fair, more than 100 Kidpreneurs (ages 5–15) will step into the shoes of business owners—launching, running, and marketing their own businesses for a day. From handcrafted jewelry, candles, and baked goods to innovative services, games, and creative experiences, the fair is a one-day marketplace filled with imagination and innovation. Each young participant designs their business, sets up their booth, and interacts with real customers, giving them hands-on experience in communication, money management, and customer service. The event is expected to draw 700+ community shoppers, making it not only a shopping opportunity but also a family-friendly outing full of energy, learning, and connection. Parents, children, educators, and community members will have the chance to shop local, support young leaders, and witness the entrepreneurial spirit of Central PA’s youth in action. What sets the Kidpreneurs Fair apart is its strong educational foundation. The event proudly partners with Susquehanna University’s Sigmund Weis School of Business and Messiah University, ensuring that participants not only gain practical experience but also connect with role models and resources that highlight the importance of education, innovation, and leadership. These partnerships emphasize the mission of the fair: to inspire, educate, and empower the next generation of leaders. The Kidpreneurs Fair is more than just an event—it’s a movement. It provides children with an environment to dream big, build confidence, and learn that their ideas have value. For shoppers, it’s a chance to engage with tomorrow’s innovators, support local youth, and enjoy the incredible creativity that comes when kids are given the tools and encouragement to shine. This year promises to be the biggest yet. With new businesses, creative displays, and a variety of products and services, every visitor will find something to spark joy and inspiration. From the moment you walk in, you’ll feel the excitement and pride these young entrepreneurs bring to their booths. It’s not just about what they sell—it’s about the skills, confidence, and memories they build along the way. 📅 Event Details at a Glance • Event: 3rd Annual Kidpreneurs Fair – PA • Date & Time: Saturday, September 20, 2025 | 11:00 AM – 3:00 PM • Location: Brubaker Auditorium, Eisenhower Campus Center, Messiah University, Mechanicsburg, PA • Admission: Free for all shoppers • Presented by: Ashruta Shettar & Pradeep Patil • Education Partners: Susquehanna University’s Sigmund Weis School of Business & Messiah University ✨ One day. 100+ businesses.
