Shopping Center to Host Fifth Annual 'Youth Shark Tank' Kidpreneur Competition and Fun Festival on Saturday, August 17th

WALDORF, Md., July 9, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Shops at Waldorf Center, an open-air lifestyle shopping center located just minutes from the Capital Beltway in Waldorf, Maryland (http://www.theshopsatwaldorfcenter.com), will host its fifth annual Youth Day Festival and Shark Tank Competition on Saturday, August 17th, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. The event is designed to showcase the business ventures of the area's youngest entrepreneurs while providing a series of fun-filled, family-friendly activities for the entire community to enjoy.

Before the event, young entrepreneurs (ages 17 and under) can sign up to be a vendor, displaying their products or services to the public during the event; renting a space costs $25 and young entrepreneurs must provide their own tables and chairs. Young entrepreneurs will also have an opportunity to pitch their businesses to a panel of judges, and the winner in each category will receive a $500 business grant. Sign up ends August 15th; to register to participate in the competition, visit https://YouthSharkTank2024.eventbrite.com and contact [email protected] with any questions.

"We are thrilled to provide the venue for this incredibly worthwhile event for the fifth year in a row." - Natonya Thomas

"We are thrilled to provide the venue for this incredibly worthwhile event for the fifth year in a row," says Natonya Thomas, General Manager for the shopping center. "Helping local youth showcase their products and services in this way shows them that the community supports their endeavors, fosters a healthy sense of competition with other like-minded young entrepreneurs, and encourages them to reach for the stars, never stopping until they achieve their goals."

In addition to the Youth Shark Tank Competition, this year's event, which will be held in the parking lot adjacent to Cava and Panera Bread, will also feature lawn games, moon bounces, a petting zoo, a corn hole competition, face painting, live music, arts and crafts, food trucks and more. While there are fees to participate in the Shark Tank Competition ($25/space, no refunds), simply attending the August 17th event is free and open to the public; no pre-registration is required to attend. For more information, visit https://YouthSharkTank2024.eventbrite.com or https://bit.ly/4cFiDC5.

Additional opportunities exist for food truck vendors and local business sponsors: Food truck vendors are welcome, space permitting, with pre-registration prior to August 7th; to register a food truck to participate in the event, contact [email protected]. Event sponsorships are also available to local businesses that would like to support this worthwhile event; sponsorship levels include: "Shark Bite" ($250), "Big Fin" ($500), and "Tank Executive" ($1,000); to learn more about becoming a sponsor, contact Natonya Thomas for details prior to August 2nd at [email protected].
