The Shops at Waldorf Center, an open-air lifestyle shopping center located just minutes from the Capital Beltway in Waldorf, Maryland (https://theshopsatwaldorfcenter.com), will host its fifth annual Youth Day Festival and Shark Tank Competition on Saturday, September 21st, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. The event is designed to showcase the business ventures of the area’s youngest entrepreneurs while providing a series of fun-filled, family-friendly activities for the entire community to enjoy. During the event, young entrepreneurs (ages 17 and under) will be able to display their products or services to the public. Participating youth will also have an opportunity to pitch their businesses to a panel of judges, and the winner in each category will receive a $500 business grant. In addition to the Youth Shark Tank Competition, this year’s event, which will be held in the parking lot adjacent to Cava and Panera Bread, will also feature lawn games, moon bounces, a petting zoo, a corn hole competition, face painting, live music, arts and crafts, food trucks and more. While there is a fee to participate in the Shark Tank Competition, simply attending the August 17th event is free and open to the public, and no pre-registration is required to attend.
