LEMONADE DAY 2025: STIRRING UP SUCCESS

Feature

Now in its fourth year, Lemonade Day – Rochester Area MN is an annual program led by the Rochester Area Chamber of Commerce that gives local youth hands-on experience in starting and running their own business — a lemonade stand. Through a series of fun and practical lessons, participants learn key skills like budgeting, goal setting, marketing, and customer service.

According to Shannon Gowen, events and programs director, and city director for Lemonade Day, this program “provides aspiring young entrepreneurs with the tools they need to build their own business and become confident leaders in their community. Lemonade Day not only teaches financial literacy and entrepreneurship skills, but it also teaches them how to set goals, achieve those goals and find creative ways to either invest in themselves or give back to those in need.”
