Biz Kid Marketplace 

The Hayward Chamber, thanks to a grant from Amazon Web Services, is launching the BizKid Marketplace at the Downtown Hayward Street Party on July 17, 2025. We’re also planning a second event for December 6, 2025, at the City of Hayward’s Light up the Season celebration. These community events are held in partnership with the Hayward Area Recreation District and the City of Hayward, attracting an estimated 6,000 to 8,000 attendees. 

The BizKid Marketplace serves as an incubator for young entrepreneurs, offering them a platform to showcase their products and services without any vendor fees, thanks to our grant and sponsors which covers 100% of the costs. We provide shade canopies, tables, table cloths, and chairs; the participants need only bring their merchandise or marketing materials and a supervising adult.

We are accepting 30 young entrepreneurs for this event, ages 6 to 18. We are particularly encouraging makers, resellers, and service providers. We are not accepting food or beverage providers at this time. 

We are using the Acton platform for registration. Please click here to register. 

If you can't participate in this event, join our December 6th Biz Kid Marketplace at Hayward City Hall Plaza.

 Biz Kid Workshops

Additionally, we are offering three free educational workshops prior to the Street Party, focusing on foundational business skills. These workshops are open to all youths interested in business, regardless of their participation in the marketplace.
