Children aged 5 to 17 run their own vendor booths and sell their products at the holiday edition of The Market at Zach.
Kids Markets is taking over The People's Plaza at Zach on Saturday, December 5, from 12 PM to 3:30 PM. It's part of The Market at Zach, a market run by Zach Theater where every single vendor booth is manned by a young entrepreneur between the ages of 5 and 17. The whole point is to give kids and teenagers a chance to make their own products, run their own business, and share what they've come up with with the community.
This particular edition is powered by Kids Markets, a program that helps children in that age bracket launch a business and sell real products for real money at a local event in their community. It's also part of the Market at Zach: Holiday Series, which draws families to the theater around a production, so it's a good one to pair with a show if you're already heading that way.
If you're wondering what you'll find, it's all handmade by the kids themselves. Since the vendors range from 5 to 17, the booths can vary quite a bit—you might see a five-year-old selling something simple and a teenager with a more polished operation right next to them. It's a safe, family-friendly environment, and the kids are the ones handling the customer interactions, so you'll be buying directly from the makers.
