This day encourages others to join the celebration by supporting these children’s businesses. National Lemonade Day celebrates lemonade, regardless of whether it’s for charity or something that a child is trying to make for their family.

National Lemonade Day is sweet and tart, but perfectly refreshing!

Lemonade stands are a classic American pastime. But when did it all begin? Lemonade has been a favorite beverage since its inception. Children can learn a lot about opening a business and how fun it is to run one.

It would be a good idea to start with the most well-known fruit, the lemon. The first time lemons were discovered was in the 1st Century AD, when the Romans & Greeks opened routes to India. This is where this yellow and tart citrus fruit is believed that it originated.

The cultivation of lemons was first established in India. It then spread to the Middle East, and to Southern Europe where the climate was still suitable for growing lemon trees. Lemons were considered to be a rare and expensive item during this period.

It is believed that the activity of extracting lemon juice to make “lemonade” was performed in the Mediterranean region around the 13th century. This activity was thought to be medicinal. It probably tasted less sweet than we would expect. It is easy to understand why lemons would have been beneficial for your health because they are rich in Vitamin C and other nutrients.

It is believed that lemonade was introduced to America in 17th-century Europe by European settlers. Lemonade stands became a popular way to teach children leadership and money skills, but it wasn’t until after the industrial revolution.

Michael and Lisa Holthouse founded National Lemonade Day in 2007 to celebrate the usefulness of lemonade stands as a tool for teaching children how to run a business. It’s simple: Teach Kids the Power of Entrepreneurship.

Lisa Holthouse was inspired by her childhood desire to have a turtle as a pet. Her father supported her in setting up a lemonade stand so she could raise enough money to purchase the turtle. Over 250,000 children have participated in this celebration every year since then.
