One-day Kid’s Holiday Market showcases handmade gifts, creative businesses & next generation of local entrepreneurs

For one day only, Westfield Washington Public Library (WWPL), 17400 Westfield Blvd., will transform into a festive holiday marketplace where young entrepreneurs take center stage.

On Saturday, Nov. 21, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., the library will host the Kid’s Holiday Market, featuring handmade gifts, original artwork, holiday creations and more, all sold by local children.

Hosted by The Academy of Chaos, the free, family-friendly event invites the community to shop small, discover unique gifts, and support the next generation of business owners.

Visitors can browse booths filled with imaginative creations, including handmade jewelry, beaded accessories, original artwork, bookmarks, sewn goods, pet gifts, ornaments, candles, craft kits, and other one-of-a-kind treasures. Each booth represents a young entrepreneur who has turned a creative idea into a small business.

Beyond the holiday shopping experience, the Kid’s Holiday Market provides participating children with valuable opportunities to develop real-world business skills. From pricing products and managing money to marketing merchandise and interacting with customers, these young business owners gain hands-on experience in entrepreneurship while building confidence, independence, and communication skills.

The market also offers a memorable shopping experience for families. Children can browse alongside parents and caregivers, while special volunteers will be available to help younger shoppers select surprise gifts for loved ones.

With the holiday season approaching, the Kid’s Holiday Market offers an opportunity to find meaningful, locally made gifts while making a difference in the lives of young creators. Every purchase supports a child’s creativity, hard work, and entrepreneurial spirit.

Community members are encouraged to bring their holiday shopping lists, explore the creativity of local youth, and help turn big dreams into real-world opportunities.
