Kids Makers Market: The Cutest Market in Burnet

I came for the lemonade.

I left with handmade soaps, a crochet plant, artwork, slime, and a whole new appreciation for Burnet's youngest entrepreneurs.

On Saturday, June 20, South of Here Co. and Title Euphoria hosted the Kids Makers Market, bringing together dozens of young business owners selling products they had created themselves. What started as a fun morning quickly turned into one of the most joyful community events I've attended this year.

There was lemonade, homemade treats, crochet plants, jewelry, slime, 3D printed toys, hand-stitched wallets, homemade soaps, homemade cleaning supplies, hand-painted artwork, marshmallow shooters, puppets, and even blind dates with books.

Every table had its own personality.

Some kids had logos. Some had business cards. Some had pricing signs carefully drawn in marker. And every single one of them was excited to tell shoppers about what they had made.

One of my favorite parts was watching the kids interact with customers. You could see how proud they were to explain their products, answer questions, and make recommendations. Then the moment a sale happened, their faces would completely light up.

It was impossible not to smile.

What made the event even more special was seeing how many families, friends, and community members showed up to support them. People weren't just buying a bracelet, a toy, or a bar of soap. They were encouraging a young creator who had the courage to put their work out into the world.

Events like this don't happen by accident.

Kamille and Jacques at South of Here Co. have built their business around supporting makers, artists, and small businesses, so creating space for young entrepreneurs feels like a natural extension of what they already do. Their shop celebrates creativity, and this market gave local kids a chance to experience what it's like to be one of the makers.

Elizabeth at Title Euphoria shares that same passion for learning and creativity. Her bookstore has become a gathering place for families, readers, and curious minds, making it the perfect partner for an event that encourages kids to try something new and believe in their ideas.

Together, these businesses created something that felt joyful, encouraging, and genuinely fun.

By the end of the market, I left with a few purchases, a camera roll full of photos, and a lot of admiration for the kids who spent their Saturday sharing their creations with the community.

If this event returns next year, make plans to stop by.

You might come for the lemonade, but you'll leave cheering on Burnet's next generation of makers, artists, and entrepreneurs.
