Women’s Economic Ventures to Showcase 35 Local Businesses December 8 at Ventura Museum

VENTURA — November 7, 2026. Women’s Economic Ventures is preparing a “35 for 35” Business Showcase to celebrate its 35th anniversary, with a free public gathering on Tuesday, December 8, from 3 to 6 p.m.

Venue and participating businesses

The event is scheduled for the Museum of Ventura County, 100 East Main Street. Organizers say visitors will meet representatives of 35 current and former WEV-supported businesses from the Ventura and Santa Barbara county area, with products and services to explore or purchase.

Why the anniversary matters

WEV has supported local entrepreneurship since 1991 through programs designed to improve access to business knowledge and resources. Such gatherings help small-business owners develop relationships with customers and peers. However, the number of participating businesses is not a claim that all received grants or that any attendee will receive funding.

Admission and planning

The showcase is free to attend, while purchases from participating merchants may cost money. Check the organizer’s official website for any final program or accessibility details. The event has been announced in advance; a total attendance or sales amount cannot yet be reported.
