From the meeting
At its October 21, 2026 meeting staff requested an additional $35,000 for the 50th Annual Ventura Harbor Parade of Lights and Fireworks, raising the Events Production budget from $80,000 to $115,000. The money would support regional marketing, transportation and traffic management, anniversary programming, community recognition, and enhanced fireworks for the December 18-19, 2026 event. Sponsorships may offset costs, but the supplemental allocation was still needed to fund the planned enhancements.

Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
