What is La Grande Journée des Petits Entrepreneurs?
Every year, La Grande Journée des Petits Entrepreneurs brings together thousands of young creatives across Quebec, eager to bring their mini-businesses to life. For one day, young entrepreneurs aged 5 to 17 can sell their creations or services in front of their homes or at one of the many Markets events organized throughout the province.
Beyond this one-of-a-kind experience, La Grande Journée also offers an educational toolkit designed to guide young participants step by step in creating and promoting their mini-businesses.
The Plateau's Young Entrepreneur Market: Bigger and Better!
To foster local entrepreneurial spirit, the ARP launched its first edition of the Young Entrepreneur Market last year -- and what a success it was! Twenty mini-businesses, featuring 37 young entrepreneurs, participated in our inaugural market. The enthusiastic response from both participants and the public confirmed the excitement around this initiative.
This year, we're aiming even higher! With expanded capacity, new collaborators, and a few surprises in store, the 2025 edition promises to be unforgettable.
There are two ways to dive into the adventure right away:
| When? June 7, 2025, from 10 AM to 2 PM, rain or shine, outdoors.
Where? On the Plateau (location to be confirmed in May). Registrations are now open, and spots are limited! |
- Register your mini-business for our Market by visiting the official Grande Journée des Petits Entrepreneurs website.
