Families gathered on Waltham Common on Saturday for the International Children’s Convention 2026, an event celebrating youth entrepreneurship, creativity and cultural exchange.

The convention featured the Waltham Children’s Business Fair, where young entrepreneurs presented products, artwork and educational projects. Among them was V Square (V²) Design, created by brothers Ved and Vansh, who showcased 3D artwork inspired by everyday objects.

Another business, Bestie Bars, was launched by 10-year-old friends Abigail and Ella. Their booth featured oversized stuffed chocolate bars in a variety of flavors, highlighting the participants’ creativity and entrepreneurial spirit.

The event was hosted by Mamai Art Gallery as part of its 10th anniversary celebration, with support from the Waltham Cultural Council. It also included cultural exhibits, performances and activities that drew families and community members for a day of learning and engagement.
