Lemonade Day 2026!
The Rockwall Area Chamber of Commerce invites families to be a part of this FREE program that turns big ideas into real-life businesses. Lemonade Day is more than just a one-day event. It’s an exciting journey where kids learn how to dream big, set goals, and bring their ideas to life. Through this interactive program, children will gain valuable life skills like how to earn, save, spend, and share money, all while building confidence and creativity along the way. With guidance from parents and mentors, they will create their own business plan, design a stand, and launch a business they can truly be proud of. The big day is on Saturday, May 2nd, at the Junior Market at Rockwall City Hall, where young entrepreneurs can showcase and sell their products. And yes… they can sell more than just lemonade! This is a wonderful opportunity for families to spend quality time together while helping kids learn real-world skills in a fun and supportive environment. Sign-ups are still open, so don’t miss out! Stay tuned for registration details, and let’s inspire the next generation of leaders, right here in Rockwall!
