Kids Run Their Own Market | Winnipeg News

This Sunday, Victoria Beach’s annual Kids Market at the Village Green Bakery ignites youthful entrepreneurship—34 young vendors, from 11-year-old fashion hopefuls to candy and rock artists, sell their wares while learning real-world skills. Started in 2023 by bakery owner Jen Leslie, the event has grown into a confidence-building hub where kids run their own booths, set prices, and even manage their own “managers” (parents). Stories like siblings Amelia and Benjamin, back for their fourth year saving for a bouncy castle, show how the market fuels ambition and pride. With proceeds supporting the community center and a Mayor’s endorsement, it’s a day of creativity, hustle, and heart—doors open at 11 AM, or Monday if rain rolls in.
