The League City Council meeting held on June 24, 2025, featured passionate discussions surrounding the future of the Sunset Bazaar, a monthly community event that has become a staple for local families and vendors. The meeting highlighted the importance of this event to the community, particularly for young entrepreneurs.

Eze Yanes, a recent high school graduate and teen entrepreneur, addressed the council, expressing his concerns about the potential reduction in the frequency of the Sunset Bazaar. He emphasized that the event not only provides a platform for local vendors but also creates a vibrant community atmosphere where families can enjoy music, food, and activities. Yanes shared personal anecdotes about his experiences at the bazaar, noting how it has allowed him to connect with children and save for his college education at the University of Houston.

Yanes also raised questions about the city's stance on the event, particularly regarding the preference for nonprofit events over for-profit ones. He argued that the fees charged to for-profit vendors are already higher, which he believes is unfair. He urged the council to reconsider their position and allow the bazaar to continue monthly at League Park, citing its accessibility and family-friendly environment.

Eric Carlson, husband of the event producer Amber Carlson, also spoke in support of the bazaar. He praised the park as an ideal location for such events and commended his wife for her efforts in managing and promoting the bazaar. Carlson's heartfelt remarks underscored the community's appreciation for the event and its role in fostering local connections.

The discussions at the meeting reflected a broader concern among residents about maintaining community events that enhance the small-town feel of League City, despite its growing population. The council's decision regarding the future of the Sunset Bazaar remains to be seen, but the testimonies from Yanes and Carlson highlighted the event's significance to local families and businesses.
