Where dreams take flight!
Exciting news! GrotonFest Kids is the newest addition to our festival family—a special event designed by a kid, for kids!
This incredible festival was inspired by a 12-year-old entrepreneur who attended her first GrotonFest in Fall 2024, and dreamed of a space where young creators, makers, and innovators could shine.
GrotonFest Kids is the ultimate platform for “Kidpreneurs” aged six to sixteen to take their first steps into the world of business—and have a blast while doing so!
The Groton Business Association is thrilled to bring this opportunity to young entrepreneurs from Groton and surrounding towns, giving them the chance to launch, create, and grow their own businesses.
At GrotonFest Kids, you’ll get the tools, support, and a kid-only marketplace to showcase your brilliant ideas, handmade products, and creative services to the world.
