SUBJECT:
APPROVAL OF SERVICES AND LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR SHOP SMALL SOIREE
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City Council will consider approving a Services and License Agreement with Shop Small Soiree to host a monthly vendor market in Downtown Downey through the end of the calendar year. A total of 9 markets will be held, starting on April 19, 2026. Shop Small Soiree features local entrepreneurs and small businesses to help support and showcase unique, curated products. The event will take place once a month on Sundays from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the City -owned parking lot on Second Street between La Reina Avenue and New Street.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council:
1. Approve the Services and License Agreement between the City of Downey and Shop Small Soiree, for a nine -month term; and,
2. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute the agreement.
BACKGROUND
Shop Small Soiree is a community market established in 2019 that features local vendors and small businesses in a family -friendly market environment. The market was created as a way to help small businesses and entrepreneurs grow and features a curated list of vendors offering handmade goods, art, apparel, jewelry, and other retail items. Interested vendors apply to directly to Shop Small Soiree through their website and are evaluated based on the category and quality of their goods. Shop Small Soiree events have been held at various locations throughout Southern California and are open to the public. Previous Soiree locations have also included Downtown Whittier, Downtown Anaheim, the Santa Anita Racetrack, Downey High School, and Smorgasburg Los Angeles.
In October 2025, Shop Small Soiree approached the City and Downtown Downey Improvement Association (DDIA) with a request to begin hosting a new and recurring vendor market in Downtown. Incorporating feedback from the City and DDIA, Shop Small Soiree submitted a formal proposal in January 2026 to host a monthly Soiree market on Sundays at the City -owned parking lot where the Farmers Market occurs. The DDIA Board reviewed the proposal at its January meeting and is supportive of this new event.
ANALYSIS
The proposed Shop Small Soiree market will directly support a priority identified in the 2026-2028 Economic Development Action Plan to drive foot traffic, support existing and new businesses, support place -making activities, and enhance the downtown environment. Shop Small Soiree's location and schedule is intended to bring a new type of daytime market to Downtown Downey while balancing existing businesses and commercial activity.
Sundays were selected to not compete with other events, and to bring additional foot traffic to Downtown on what is traditionally the least -visited day. The location was intentionally selected to prevent the need for any additional street closures that could negatively impact Downtown businesses. Shop Small Soiree is also distinct from the Saturday Farmers Market, as the focus of that event is to provide certified California farmers and food producers with a venue to sell produce to the public. While it shares similarities with the Downtown Night Market, the focus of that event is to create a walkable, family -friendly nighttime event in Downtown during the week.
All parties have agreed to the terms outlined in the proposed agreement. The following summarizes key details of the agreement:
• Shop Small Soiree will host markets on the following dates from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m: 4/19/26, 5/24/26, 6/21 /26, 7/19/26, 8/23/26, 9/20/26, 10/18/26, 11 /22/26, and 12/13/26. • Shop Small Soiree will be responsible for all management and operational aspects of the Shop Small Soiree Market, including sanitation and security services.
• The Shop Small Soiree will provide a per -market contribution of One Thousand -One Hundred Dollars ($1,100) to the DDIA for the public purpose of Downtown Downey revitalization efforts.
Following the term of this agreement, the parties will evaluate the impact of this event and collectively decide whether to continue in 2027 and execute a new agreement.
