Lemonade Day Bismarck-Mandan 2026

Lemonade Day is a free, fun, and hands-on learning program that teaches kids how to start, own, and operate their very own business – a lemonade stand.
Every registered child will receive a free backpack and Entrepreneur Workbook that will guide them through every step of building a successful business and teach them to:

Set a goal
Create a business plan
Develop an investor
Find an investor
Advertise their stand
Build a lemonade stand
Provide excellent customer service
Make smart spending decisions

After paying back their investor, participants keep the rest of the money they earned and are encouraged to spend some, save some, and share some with a local charity, nonprofit, or someone in need.
Who can participate?
The program is designed for 3rd – 8th graders, however, everyone can be involved and take part in Lemonade Day. Young entrepreneurs need support from mentors, investors, business partners, a great location, and customers.
When does this program take place?

Lemonade Day Bismarck-Mandan will take place on Saturday, July 18th when participating youth will start new businesses, Lemonade stands, across Bismarck-Mandan.
