When to Hold a Lemonade Stand:

We recommend having your lemonade stand on a Saturday or Sunday anytime between 12:00 noon and 4:00 PM and you can stay open for business as long as you like. Hot summer weekdays may be perfectly good for business too. Sometimes having several lemonade stands on a few consecutive days or weekends will be beneficial as neighbors begin to look for the stands as a source of nourishment and fun! Of course, these are only suggestions and you may operate your lemonade stand when you think is best.

From our experience we have found that if you sell lemonade and snacks during the heat of the day that you are more likely to get customers and generate more sales.
