Kids Market at the Carrollwood Market

Any kid entrepreneur between the ages of 7-17 who has completed our Kid Vendor Course or has an approved business plan can apply to be a vendor.

Yes, unless you have already created a structured business plan through another program or on your own. If so, you can submit your plan for approval instead.

Once you complete the Kid Vendor Course (or have your business plan approved), you can apply for an upcoming market through our website.

You can sell handmade products, crafts, artwork, baked goods (must follow cottage law), services, or other creative items. All items must be made or designed by the kid vendors no reselling of mass-produced products (special circumstances may apply)

You'll need to bring your products, any display materials (such as tables, signage, and decorations), a way to accept payments (cash, card reader, etc.), and a great attitude! For some outdoor markets, a 10'x10' tent may be required with appropriate tent weights.

Most of our market locations do not provide electricity, and Wi-Fi may be limited. Be prepared to operate without them.

Yes! Parents can assist with setup and provide support, but the business should be led by the child once the booth is setup. The goal is for kids to take charge and gain real-world experience.

Yes, there is a small vendor fee to reserve a booth space. The fee helps cover event costs and promotions. Pricing varies by location check our registration page for details.

Yes! We encourage collaboration. If you and a friend have related businesses, you may share a booth (up to 2 kid businesses per booth). Be sure to mention this in your application.

We understand that things happen! If you need to cancel, let us know as soon as possible so we can offer your space to another young entrepreneur. We do not offer refunds or rescheduling for late cancelations. Early cancelations (at least 7 days in advance) can be rebooked to another market.

We encourage you to invite friends and family to come support you, promote your business on social media (safely, with adult supervision) and create flyers or business cards to hand out before and during the event.

Absolutely, in fact, we highly encourage it! Many of our vendors return for multiple markets to grow their businesses year over year!
