Founded in 2023 by then-13-year-old Aryaman Sinha, the event has continued to grow each year. Now 16, Aryaman welcomed 120 young entrepreneurs representing 75 kid-run businesses to Bellevue Downtown Park for an exciting afternoon of innovation and friendly competition. In just four hours, the young business owners collectively generated more than $22,000 in sales—and every participant kept 100% of their profits. The top-earning business, Big Lemons, took home first place after earning an impressive $1,103 during the event. A total of $500 in prizes was awarded to outstanding participants.

The day began with welcoming remarks from Bellevue Mayor, Mo Malakoutian, and concluded with an inspiring keynote from Nick Anderson and Jeff Rogers of OneAccord Business Advisors, who encouraged the young entrepreneurs to continue pursuing their ideas with confidence and purpose.

As the fair continues to grow, it remains a powerful reminder that age is no barrier to big dreams, hard work, and business success.
