Portland Made Lemonade is a fun and refreshing community event that teaches children the skills they need to be successful in the future.

Portland Made Lemonade will be held in 2025, date TBA. 

Portland Made Lemonade provides the opportunity for children to start, own and operate their own business - a lemonade stand! Leading up to the day of sales youth will learn to set goals, develop a business plan, establish a budget, seek investors and provide customer service.  It all comes to life when participants set up their stand and open for business!  Each child keeps all revenue earned from their business and are encouraged to save a little, spend a little, and give a little back to the community.

Portland Made Lemonade is a way for us to take some time to focus on cultivating the leaders of tomorrow, a task that is too often neglected.  Growing future leaders is good for the community and is good for business.

Local businesses will supply materials and assistance with construction of lemonade stands, if needed, free of charge. 

Portland Made Lemonade is a community-wide event where we all unite for a common purpose-to train the next generation of entrepreneurs!  For questions, or information on how you can get involved, call the Chamber at 361.777.4650 or send an email to marketing@portlandtx.org.
