Lemonade Day Junior Market is when our young entrepreneurs use everything they have learned from our Lemon University Program to create their very own lemonade stand! It is an opportunity for kids to showcase their unique business models and flex their talents in creative ways.

Didn’t attend Lemon University? No problem! Kids are encouraged to set up a stand and put their entrepreneurial skills to the test (and make a little cash for the summer!).

No lemon is the same! Kids are encouraged to think outside the box and put their own twist on the traditional lemonade stand.

Junior Market will take place at 12pm on May 17th, 2025 at the Raymond Center.
