The League City Council meeting on June 24, 2025, featured significant discussions surrounding the future of the Sunset Bazaar, a monthly vendor event held at League Park. The meeting highlighted concerns from local business owners regarding the city’s recent decision to deny the renewal of the event's permit.

One local vendor expressed frustration over the city's handling of the situation, stating that despite positive feedback from city officials about the bazaar, they were unexpectedly informed that the number of vendors would be reduced to 50. This vendor questioned the rationale behind this decision, suggesting it was an attempt to push them out of the event. They noted that the city manager had previously praised the bazaar and indicated that the vendor count was too low, raising concerns about inconsistent communication from city officials.

The vendor also reported that they had received a call from the city manager's office after inquiring about the legality of adding an additional property to their rental. Following this inquiry, they were informed that their rental request for both the park and the ballpark had been denied without prior warning or due process, despite the ballpark being promoted for vendor markets on the city’s official page.

Another speaker, Heather Yanez, a local realtor and homeowner, addressed the council to express her gratitude for recent property tax exemptions for seniors and disabled residents. However, she also raised concerns about the non-renewal of the Sunset Bazaar permit, emphasizing the importance of the event for local businesses, including her son’s venture, Dragon Boy, which features 3D-printed products.

The discussions at the meeting underscored the tension between local entrepreneurs and city officials regarding event management and vendor regulations. As the council navigates these issues, the future of the Sunset Bazaar remains uncertain, with implications for local businesses and community engagement in League City.
