National Lemonade Day is the first Sunday in May. A lemonade stand is a business that is commonly owned and operated by a child or children, to sell lemonade. The stand may be a folding table and a paper sign on front advertises the lemonade stand.

Origin

Once in 2007 Lisa Holthouse wanted a new pet, a turtle. Her father Michael Holthouse said he wouldn't buy her one, but encouraged her daughter to get some money to buy it. So he helped her to set up a stand to sell lemonade and used the money she raised to buy the turtle herself. Since then a lot of children take part in the anual celebration.

What followed was generations of young entrepreneurs erecting their own stands during the hot summer months and selling glasses to their neighbours and friends. The lemonade stand has ostensibly become a symbol of North American capitalism and entrepreneurship, a symbol that is passed down from one generation to the next.

To this day, if you walk into a room full of executives and ask if any of them created their own stands as a child, an overwhelming number will recall it as their first venture.
